Zilliz Cloud Expands Global Footprint with New Azure Region in Central India
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zilliz, the company behind the most 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."
Global Infrastructure with Local Performance
Zilliz Cloud now operates across 26 cloud regions globally, making it one of the most geographically distributed vector database platforms available. The Central India region joins key international deployments across AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Key international regions include:
This expansion makes it simple for organizations to optimize for latency, locality, and cost, all while scaling to support billions of vector embeddings and the most demanding GenAI workloads. With auto-scaling, usage-based pricing, and deployment flexibility across providers, Zilliz Cloud helps teams reduce operational overhead and focus on building AI features that deliver value.
Companies like Sarvam, a leading AI startup building multilingual models in India, exemplify the demanding performance requirements driving this expansion."We needed a system that could handle real-time retrieval over millions of knowledge vectors without breaking under load," said Dr. Pratyush Kumar, Co-Founder of Sarvam. "Zilliz gave us that. It freed up engineering cycles and let us focus on improving reasoning on the model side, not managing infrastructure."
Now Available to All
The Azure Central India region is now live and available to all Zilliz Cloud customers. Organizations can immediately begin deploying clusters in the new region through the Zilliz Cloud console.
