New region empowers customers to meet data sovereignty, regulatory, low-latency, and cost-efficiency goals when building AI applications
Redwood Shores, CA – [June 15, 2025] – Zilliz, the company behind the popular open-source vector database Milvus, today announced the availability of a new Zilliz Cloud region in Azure Central India, further expanding its global infrastructure. This new region enables customers, from fast-moving startups to global enterprises, to build and scale AI applications while ensuring data locality, regulatory compliance, low-latency performance, and lower cloud costs.
With data residency becoming a critical requirement for many businesses operating in India and nearby markets, the new Azure Central India region provides developers with greater control over where their data lives, without compromising on performance or budget.
“Developers rely on Zilliz Cloud every day to build and scale AI applications more quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively,” said Charles Xie, CEO at Zilliz. “By adding a new region in India, we’re helping customers reduce cross-border data transfer costs and latency, while also simplifying compliance with local regulations. It’s a win-win for both innovation and infrastructure spend.”
Zilliz Cloud now spans 16 cloud regions globally across AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure. This not only improves speed and resilience but also allows for cost optimization by processing and storing data closer to where it’s generated or used.
