San Francisco-based Zilliz has released a new version of its database-as-a-service (DBaaS) offering, Zilliz Cloud. The company claims the new version offers better performance while reducing cost of ownership compared to its previous version.
Zilliz Cloud is built atop the open source Milvus vector database management system. Zilliz was founded by engineers who had helped develop the Milvus vector database.
The new version of Zilliz Cloud, according to the company, offers 10x better performance than the original Milvus vector database. In contrast to the original Milvus vector database that uses the Hierarchical Navigable Small World (HNSW) graph index, the new version uses a new Cardinal Search Engine in combination with an improved filtered search.
