1. A method to switch one or more paths of data communications on a network operationally coupled to a server, the network having at least one optical communication channel, the method comprising the steps of:

  • a holographic enterprise interface receiving a protection switch message from one or more of a plurality of communication channels on the network, the holographic enterprise interface connected between the network and a virtual network operations center, the virtual network operations center implemented on the server;

    the holographic enterprise interface decoding a source id of the protection switch message;

    the holographic enterprise interface reading a protection action associated with the source id;

    the holographic enterprise interface correlating the source id to an id within the server;

    the holographic enterprise interface encapsulating the protection switch message in a holographic format understandable by a virtual network operations center implemented on the server;

    the holographic enterprise interface transmitting the encapsulated message to the virtual network operations center;

    the virtual network operations center providing a virtual three-dimensional representation of a spatial and an operational configuration of the network in real time;

    providing an interface on the server to the virtual network operations center;

    pausing communications on the one or more plurality of communication channels;

    representing the paused communication on the virtual network operations center in real time;

    responding to the protection switch message;

    representing the response on the virtual network operations center in real time.
