Univa
The Leading System Architecture For Business

Univa is a German software company that helps organizations manage their cloud services through its flagship product, NavOps, a cloud automation platform designed for high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.
The platform provides users with control and visibility over cloud spending, significantly reducing costs by 30-40%. In September 2020, Altair acquired Univa, acknowledging its strategic importance in HPC and cloud management.
NavOps was a complex product featuring dashboards, graphs, and infrastructure data that required clarity for users with varying levels of technical expertise. Designing interfaces to manage this complexity without overwhelming users posed a significant UX challenge.
The platform required tailored views for different user access levels, ensuring they received the necessary information without unnecessary complexity. Balancing performance, stability, and visual appeal was crucial for enabling enterprise users to make quick, data-driven decisions.

Capicua developed responsive front-end interfaces for NavOps, making its extensive data accessible. We utilized Highcharts for efficient, high-quality chart rendering, ensuring quick load times even with data-heavy dashboards.
For data management, we implemented GraphQL and a custom REST API to combine dynamic querying with reliable data persistence. Built on React and Redux, the front end offered a clean, user-friendly interface for both technical administrators and business users, with a focus on simplicity and functionality.
- Integrations: Highcharts integration for high-quality, performant data visualization.
- System: GraphQL query system with a custom REST API for saved data.
- Architecture: React and Redux front-end architecture.
- Interfaces: Responsive interfaces for complex workflows.
- Support: Role-based UI design supporting multiple user access levels.

Univa's NavOps platform effectively gives enterprises control over cloud spending and HPC workloads. The updated interfaces improve data accessibility, enhancing user adoption and satisfaction.
With a 30-40% cost reduction from automation, clients can intuitively track and measure savings directly on their dashboards. Altair's acquisition of Univa in 2020 highlighted the platform's strategic strength and the quality of the product experience built by Capicua.
- Cost Reduction: Interfaces supporting 30-40% cost reduction outcomes.
- Accessibility: Accessible data visualization across complex HPC workload dashboards.
- Acquisition: Successful acquisition by Altair in 2020.
- Scalability: Scalable architecture supporting multiple user types and access levels
- Infrastructure: Simplified cloud infrastructure management for enterprise teams
Complex data doesn't have to mean complex interfaces. With Shaped Clarity™, Capicua turns technical depth into products that people actually want to use. Let's talk.
