, /PRNewswire/ — Zilliz, the creator of Milvus — the world’s most widely adopted open-source vector database with over 43,000 GitHub stars and more than 10,000 enterprise deployments — has been recognized as a ‘Stars Company’ in the Vector Database market on MarketsandMarkets’ 360Quadrants platform.
The Stars designation represents the highest-performing category in the 360Quadrants framework, reserved for vendors that demonstrate exceptional strength across technological innovation, market presence, and customer satisfaction. Milvus powers high-performance similarity search, semantic search, recommendation, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications at global enterprises including NVIDIA, OpenEvidence, Doordash, Salesforce, AT&T, and Walmart.
Zilliz is the only vector database provider that delivers a complete platform from open-source infrastructure to fully managed cloud. The company recently announced the General Availability of Milvus 2.6.x on Zilliz Cloud, introducing breakthrough cost and performance optimizations — including 32x index compression through RaBitQ 1-bit quantization and 3–4x higher full-text search throughput than Elasticsearch at equivalent recall — enabling enterprises to deploy billion-scale generative AI applications at significantly lower total cost of ownership. Zilliz also open-sourced an industry-first bilingual semantic highlighting model under the MIT license, which evaluates relevance at the sentence level to dramatically reduce RAG token costs while improving output quality in both English and Chinese.
On the cloud front, Zilliz Cloud became the first managed vector database to offer Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) across all three major platforms — AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure — along with customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) for enterprise data sovereignty. Ongoing collaborations, such as the integration with Pliops’ hardware-accelerated architecture, aim to enable billion-scale vector search at storage-level costs, breaking through traditional memory constraints. With continued international expansion and hybrid deployment options, Zilliz Cloud supports data residency, compliance, and low-latency AI workloads across regions.
