OVERVIEW
Aarna Networks builds enterprise software that enables organizations to manage and operate GPU-powered AI infrastructure across cloud and edge environments.
CHALLENGES
The key challenge was designing a platform from scratch in a complex and unfamiliar Cloud computing infrastructure domain.
App Specific Consideration
New Domain, No Existing Mental Model
GPU cloud orchestration is a new and highly technical space with few established design patterns. We had to build the product's mental model from scratch, making complex infrastructure concepts easy to grasp for first-time users.
Choosing the Right Interface Model
Standard list-based SaaS layouts couldn't show how physical data centers and digital cloud resources connect in real time. We needed an interface model that reflects how infrastructure actually behaves, so users can see relationships and dependencies at a glance.
Two Users, Opposite Expectations
Developers and AI teams want speed and zero infrastructure complexity, while GPU providers need deep control, reliability, and visibility. The platform had to serve both without slowing one down or oversimplifying for the other.
PERSONAS
Designing Aarna required balancing diverse user needs to ensure both simplicity and control, creating a clear and efficient experience across use cases.
Understanding The Users
Aarna is built for two types of users with very different expectations. Developers and AI teams use the platform to run their work and expect the experience to be quick, clear, and free from infrastructure complexity. On the other side, GPU providers use the platform to onboard and manage their resources, where control, reliability, and visibility are critical
SOLUTIONS
We translated research insights into clear, actionable UX improvements by identifying user needs, validating key features, and prioritizing high-impact opportunities. This led to intuitive workflows and a more engaging product experience tailored to real user behavior.
Platform Ecosystem
We meticulously crafted three unique platforms for Aarna, each one specifically tailored to address a distinct aspect of the cloud infrastructure lifecycle, ensuring comprehensive support and functionality throughout the entire process.
Canvas-Based Orchestration
We designed a canvas-based interface to simplify orchestration across complex infrastructure. Instead of using traditional list views, the canvas visually represents how physical data centers and digital cloud resources are connected in real time. This approach makes it easier to assign resources, monitor system status, and understand dependencies across regions without switching between multiple screens.
Central Infrastructure Monitoring
This dashboard provides Nvidia Cloud Partners admins with a real-time overview of infrastructure health, capacity, and utilization. Key metrics such as GPUs, memory, storage, and CPU usage are surfaced upfront, along with alerts for newly detected resources that require configuration. The goal was to enable quick visibility and faster operational decisions from a single view.
Running Workloads Overview
The dashboard provides a clear snapshot of GPU usage, costs, and system status for AI teams. By combining balance, burn rate, activity, and alerts in one place, it helps users monitor spending, track workloads, and respond quickly to issues.
Evaluating GPU Options
Selecting the right GPU often involves comparing pricing, availability, and specifications across multiple providers. The design presents this information in a clear and consistent way, making it easy to scan, compare, and evaluate options at a glance.
By surfacing key parameters such as cost, region, VRAM, and storage in one place, the platform helps users make faster, more confident decisions without jumping between provider dashboards.
IMPACT
Aarna Networks’ redesigned platform experience has helped fuel strong market traction. The company, a leader in cloud-native orchestration and edge automation, raised approximately $6.7 million in Series A funding from strategic investors including NVIDIA and Exfinity Ventures to accelerate its AI cloud and edge software offerings
"Turned a steep learning curve into a seamless, intuitive flow."
Ungrammary helped us redesign the user experience of our cloud platform, which earlier had a steep learning curve. The team reimagined the module end-to-end, transforming it from a selection-based interface into an intuitive drag-and-drop experience. Their strong understanding of enterprise platforms, along with a structured workflow and regular progress discussions, ensured high impact within a short timeframe.
