Zilliz

Zilliz belongs in the catalog because it represents an important buying path in AI infrastructure: teams that want managed vector search with production depth, but also want a platform story anchored in the Milvus ecosystem rather than a completely closed system. The official positioning is clear about fully managed vector database infrastructure for AI and machine learning. That matters because many buyers want managed operations, scalability, and multi-cloud flexibility without losing sight of the underlying vector database lineage.

It also deserves inclusion because the pricing page exposes far more data than many infrastructure vendors are willing to show publicly. Zilliz Cloud openly presents serverless pricing elements such as vCu at 4 and storage at 0.3 on the public calculator, alongside concrete regional performance and storage examples for Standard, Enterprise, and Business Critical tiers. While the exact bill still depends on region and deployment shape, the page gives enough live pricing structure to support serious comparison. That makes Zilliz easier to evaluate than vector vendors that stay vague until a sales cycle begins.
