Flexible Deployment Options

Dedicated

Dedicated provides isolated, reserved environments for production workloads that demand consistent and predictable performance. This option is ideal for sustained high-throughput and latency-sensitive applications.

Predictable Performance
Leverage dedicated compute units (CU) to ensure stable performance without resource contention.
Fixed and Transparent Costs
Easily manage your budget with a clear, pay-as-you-go pricing model.
Full Control & Customization
Gain granular control over your resources and access advanced features to meet your specific application requirements.

Cluster Types

Dedicated clusters offer diverse types tailored to fit your use cases. A CU (compute unit) is a measure of computational resources for data processing. Each cluster type offers different combination of CPU, memory, and storage.

Performance-optimized

Ideal for real-time applications requiring instant search results and high concurrent traffic.

Per CU Capacity

1.5 million vectors

Search QPS

500-1500

Search Latency

Vector Dimensions

Vector dimension refers to the length of the vector and can vary depending on the embedding model you use.

mmap

Enabling mmap (memory mapping) can optimize memory usage and the amount of data that can be stored in the same Query CU will be increased. Learn More

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Compute Unit (CU)?
A compute unit (CU) is a group of hardware resources for serving your indexes and search requests. You can simply consider a CU as a fully-managed physical node for deploying search service.
What is a vCU?
A virtual compute unit (vCU) is used to measure the resources consumed by read operations (such as search and query) and write operations (such as insert, upsert, and delete). The read and write costs vary for different vCU usage. The read and write costs vary for different vCU usage
Which type of cluster should I pick?
Select the Performance-optimized cluster if you instant search results and high concurrent traffic for real-time applications.
Choose the Capacity-optimized cluster if you need to handle large vector datasets while maintaining reliable search speeds.
Opt for the Tiered-storage cluster if you need to handle ultra-large-scale, cost-sensitive workloads with clear hot and cold data patterns.
How many query CUs do I need for a given collection?
Performance-optimized: Supports up to 1.5 million 768-dimensional vectors.

Capacity-optimized: Supports up to 5 million 768-dimensional vectors.

Tiered-storage: Supports up to 20 million 768-dimensional vectors.

These estimates are based on vectors with primary keys only. Additional scalar fields like IDs or labels may reduce capacity. We recommend conducting your own tests for accurate assessment.
How can I get Zilliz Cloud discounts?
When you commit to an annual plan, you can get additional credits based on your usage.
