Zilliz
Vector database and AI data infrastructure for enterprise applications
About Zilliz
Zilliz is an AI data infrastructure company building open-source and managed vector database technology for large-scale AI applications. The company created Milvus, the widely adopted open-source vector database, and offers Zilliz Cloud, a fully managed vector database service that supports real-time serving, iterative discovery and batch analytics on a single source of truth.
Zilliz Cloud is designed for enterprise AI workloads such as retrieval-augmented generation, semantic search, recommendation and anomaly detection, handling vector, text, JSON and geospatial search with hybrid retrieval, filtering and reranking. Its lake-native architecture separates storage from compute and stores data and indexes on object storage, using hot caches and on-demand compute to lower the cost of serving and analytics at scale.
The company serves enterprise customers across industries, including AI-native startups and large organisations, and maintains a global footprint with offices in the United States, Europe and Asia. Zilliz is a key contributor to the LF AI & Data Foundation's Milvus project.
