Zilliz, the company behind the widely adopted open-source vector database Milvus, has expanded its global infrastructure by launching a new Zilliz Cloud region in AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland). This addition empowers organizations from agile startups to multinational enterprises to build, deploy, and scale AI applications while ensuring data locality, regulatory compliance, and enhanced performance across Western Europe, the UK, and Ireland.

As businesses increasingly prioritize data residency and GDPR compliance, the AWS Ireland region gives developers more control over where their data resides without sacrificing flexibility or performance. Notably, Ireland is among the most popular AWS regions worldwide and serves as the European hub for numerous leading global technology companies.

“As AI adoption accelerates across Europe, enterprises need data infrastructure that keeps pace close to their users, compliant with local regulations, and ready for production scale,” said Charles Xie, CEO at Zilliz. “By adding Ireland to our European footprint alongside Frankfurt, we’re giving teams more choice in where they run their AI workloads, helping reduce cross-border data transfer costs while simplifying compliance. It’s another step in making Zilliz Cloud the most accessible vector database platform in the world.”

Zilliz Cloud now operates across 30 cloud regions globally, positioning it as one of the most geographically distributed vector database platforms. The Ireland region complements existing deployments across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Key international regions include:
