Managed Operations Build on Milvus
Zilliz created Milvus as an open-source vector database and built a managed cloud service around it. The cloud changes what the customer operates: a team can adopt vector search without taking on the full work of running the database cluster.
Zilliz Competitive Landscape
Choosing a Vector Database Deployment
An application can use Milvus directly or use Zilliz Cloud to hand more operational work to the provider. In a market that also includes general-purpose databases with vector search, a useful comparison is how much the team needs a dedicated retrieval system versus one database for several data types.
