Milvus as Knowledge Fabric overview
Milvus as a distributed, GPU-accelerated knowledge fabric. Designed for billion-scale similarity search with multiple index types (IVF, HNSW, DiskANN), hybrid scalar-vector queries, and multi-vector search. Separate storage and compute scaling for elastic deployments. Partition keys and time travel features support multi-tenant knowledge isolation and temporal knowledge queries. Zilliz Cloud offers managed deployment. As a knowledge fabric, Milvus is the choice for enterprise-scale knowledge bases requiring high-throughput vector operations.

notes
Milvus's time travel feature is unique among vector databases — it allows
querying the knowledge base as it existed at a past point in time. This
is valuable for knowledge fabric auditing and understanding how
organizational knowledge evolved. The distributed architecture handles
billion-scale collections but requires more operational investment.
