As AI adoption accelerates, enterprises face challenges in deploying AI while ensuring security, compliance, and cost efficiency. Many solutions force companies to choose between convenience and control, leaving security and compliance teams struggling to balance innovation with regulatory demands.
Zilliz, the creators of the open-source vector database Milvus, has announced an upgraded version of Zilliz Cloud Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC)—the first and only fully comprehensive BYOC solution for AI workloads. This enterprise-grade platform enables businesses to run AI applications where their data resides while maintaining full control over security and governance.
Why Enterprises Need Zilliz Cloud BYOC
Current AI solutions face several roadblocks:
Security concerns: Organizations need AI solutions that meet strict security and compliance requirements.
Costly data transfers: Moving data between clouds is expensive and inefficient.
Lack of control: Many AI solutions require companies to hand over infrastructure control.
Zilliz Cloud BYOC solves these issues, providing scalability, security, and seamless AI integration without operational overhead.
Zilliz Cloud BYOC: AI Without Compromising Control
True enterprise control: Keep AI workloads in your cloud environment while maintaining governance and compliance.
Cost-efficient AI operations: Process AI workloads where data resides to eliminate data transfer costs.
Security-first approach: Ensure data privacy and compliance with fine-grained permissions, private link support, and outbound HTTPS communication.
Optimized for large-scale AI: Built on Milvus and the proprietary Cardinal Search Engine for industry-leading performance.
“Today’s businesses need both the convenience of managed services and the control of self-hosted infrastructure for AI workloads,” said Charles Xie, Founder & CEO of Zilliz. “Zilliz Cloud BYOC fits directly in that sweet spot, offering high performance, scalability, and security without operational burden.”

Setting a New Standard for AI Infrastructure
Traditional databases offer basic vector search, but they fail to provide the enterprise-grade security, control, and scalability that AI-driven businesses require.
Zilliz Cloud BYOC brings true self-hosted flexibility without operational complexity—enabling AI adoption at scale.
The Future of AI Deployment
With this latest release, Zilliz is redefining AI infrastructure, empowering enterprises to build and deploy high-performance, secure, and cost-efficient AI solutions—without compromising control.
