New Global Cluster and Global Endpoint capabilities deliver automated failover with near-zero downtime for enterprise AI applications

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Zilliz, the company behind Milvus, the world’s most widely adopted open-source vector database, today announced native cross-region disaster recovery for Zilliz Cloud, making it the only vector database to offer automated cross-region failover with near-zero data loss and sub-60-second recovery times.

Recent high-profile cloud outages — including simultaneous AWS region failures in the Middle East, a 14.5-hour Azure outage, and cascading infrastructure incidents costing Fortune 500 companies billions — have exposed a critical gap in AI infrastructure resilience. With nearly 60% of employees now relying on AI-powered workflows daily, region-level failures no longer cause gradual slowdowns; they trigger immediate productivity cliffs across the enterprise.

“Cloud regions will fail — that’s not a prediction, it’s an operational certainty. What matters is whether your AI infrastructure can recover in seconds rather than hours. We built cross-region disaster recovery natively into Zilliz Cloud so that enterprises never have to choose between the performance of vector search and the resilience their applications demand.” said Charles Xie, Founder and CEO at Zilliz.

Why Cross-Region Disaster Recovery Matters for AI

Vector databases power critical enterprise AI workloads — from RAG pipelines and semantic search to recommendation engines and AI agents. Unlike stateless model inference, vector indexes containing hundreds of millions of vectors can take 18+ hours to rebuild, making traditional disaster recovery approaches impractical. Zilliz Cloud’s new capabilities address this with three complementary solutions:

• Global Cluster: Real-time Change Data Capture (CDC) replication between primary and secondary clusters in different regions enables planned switchovers with zero data loss and automatic failover in under 60 seconds.
• Global Endpoint: A single connection endpoint with SRV DNS-based routing automatically reroutes application traffic during failover — requiring no code changes, connection string updates, or application restarts.
• Cross-Region Backup: Cost-effective backup replication to target regions with configurable retention policies, enabling recovery from any backup point for workloads where data durability is the priority.

Beyond disaster recovery, Global Cluster also enables latency optimization by placing replicas closer to end users, zero-downtime region migrations, and compliance with geographic data residency requirements.

Now Available

Cross-region disaster recovery capabilities are now available on Zilliz Cloud dedicated clusters across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Existing customers can activate Global Cluster and Global Endpoint from the Zilliz Cloud console. New users can create a free account with $100 in credits to get started. For enterprise deployments, connect with the Zilliz team.

SHANGHAI, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As large language models rapidly enter enterprise environments, AI is evolving from Copilot-style assistance tools into agentic systems capable of understanding business objectives and continuously executing tasks. Tezign has officially launched its enterprise agent system GEA (Generative Enterprise Agent) and introduced a new enterprise Agentic AI paradigm centered on the System of Context as its core infrastructure—shifting AI from single-response generation toward proactive execution across real business workflows.

Unlike traditional generative AI systems that rely primarily on prompt-driven interactions, GEA uses enterprise context as the foundation for reasoning. This enables AI to understand brand guidelines, historical decision logic, customer assets, and operational processes, allowing it to participate in continuous, cross-functional business execution.
Agentic AI for business is emerging as a new paradigm distinct from foundation models alone—one that orchestrates models, tools, and contextual knowledge to reason over business goals and execute actions, rather than merely generating responses.

GEA is built on Tezign’s proprietary four-layer enterprise agent architecture:

• Intent Layer
• Orchestration Layer
• Agent Skills Layer
• Context Layer

The Intent Layer translates business objectives into structured execution paths, allowing the system to operate based on organizational goals rather than prompts.

The Orchestration Layer, powered by Tezign’s proprietary Creative Reasoning Model, performs task decomposition, multi-path reasoning, and model routing across more than 30 foundation models to dynamically determine optimal execution strategies. Unlike conventional language models optimized for convergent responses, the Creative Reasoning Model enables divergent reasoning across multiple strategy paths—supporting continuous exploration and optimization in complex enterprise decision scenarios.

The Agent Skills Layer provides more than 400 callable skill modules that transform enterprise workflows into reusable execution capabilities.

The Context Layer, built on the enterprise Context System, establishes a unified single source of truth that supports consistent reasoning and execution across all agents.

At the execution layer, GEA introduces GEA Claw as its Proactive Agent engine, enabling agents to continuously monitor internal and external business signals and automatically trigger next-step actions within defined operational boundaries. Unlike general-purpose agents designed for one-off operations, GEA Claw can dynamically leverage enterprise context systems, research assets, and skill modules to continuously advance strategy generation, content production, and decision optimization—allowing enterprises to operate a 24/7 agent execution network for the first time.

The foundational infrastructure supporting this capability is the System of Context. Through semantic recognition, structured indexing, and dynamic retrieval mechanisms, the system transforms brand assets, product knowledge, customer insights, project history, and decision logic—traditionally stored for human interpretation—into AI-native contextual networks accessible by agents. Combined with permission control and progressive context disclosure mechanisms, the System of Context ensures both enterprise-level security and operational efficiency, enabling all agents to reason and act on a shared organizational knowledge foundation.

To support enterprise transformation in the Agentic AI era, Tezign has established three core strategic offerings across technology, business, and organizational layers:

• At the technology layer, Tezign provides GEA (Generative Enterprise Agent) as enterprise agent infrastructure;
• At the business layer, Tezign delivers AI Fullstack solutions designed for real operational deployment across enterprise workflows;
• At the organizational layer, Tezign introduces ABC+ (AI Builders & Creators +) to help enterprises upgrade talent structures and collaboration models for the agent-driven workplace.

Together, these offerings form a complete implementation framework for enterprise-scale Agentic AI adoption.

Built on the GEA architecture, Tezign has developed four domain-level enterprise agent systems covering critical operational workflows:

• Insight & Research GEA
• Content Ops & Distribution GEA
• Design & Creation GEA
• Product R&D GEA

These systems support consumer insight generation, content production and distribution, brand design system construction, and product innovation decision-making—transforming agent capabilities from isolated tools into cross-functional enterprise collaboration systems.

GEA has already been deployed across more than 180 global enterprise customers, including over 60 Fortune Global 500 companies.

As enterprise software shifts from workflow systems toward reasoning systems, the competitive frontier of AI is moving from model capability to contextual capability. The launch of GEA marks the transition of enterprise AI from the Copilot stage to the Proactive Agent stage, signaling a shift in which intelligent agents evolve from assistant tools into execution layers embedded directly within business operations.

Enterprise agent systems are now emerging as a new generation of infrastructure connecting organizational knowledge, operational workflows, and execution capabilities.
