1. An apparatus for processing network management information, comprising;
- a processing engine operable to receive current network data and store the current network data in a data store,a forecaster engine operable to read network data from the data store and generate forecast network data, and store the forecast network data in a forecast data store, anda user interface module operable to read past network data, current network data and forecast network data and generate a continuous graphical display based at least in part on common output in accordance with the past network data, current network data and forecast network data, the continuous graphical display having a time axis and a user selectable timescale;
wherein the forecast network data predicts the demand on a service or predicts the health status of the service;
wherein the forecast network data and past network data are compared over a time via display.
