Description

Vector Transport Service (VTS) is an open-source, self-hosted toolkit designed for secure and efficient migration and synchronization of vector and unstructured data between various data platforms. It supports large-scale data movement, including schema mapping and format conversion, and can operate entirely within private infrastructure.

Features

• Open-source & Self-hosted: Deploy VTS in your own environment (Docker or Kubernetes), maintaining full control over the code and data pipeline.
• Private Infrastructure Support: No public internet access required; migrate data securely between on-premises databases or air-gapped networks.
• Broad Data Source Compatibility: Supports migration from and to Milvus, Zilliz Cloud, Elasticsearch, Pinecone, Qdrant, PostgreSQL, and others, across both cloud and on-premises environments.
• Flexible Deployment: Can be installed and managed on Docker or Kubernetes.
• Custom Data Transformation: Apply schema mappings or embedding conversions during migration, handling schema conflicts, format conversions, and version control for vector data.
• Batch and Real-time Migration: Supports both one-time batch migrations and continuous synchronization (real-time sync with manual configuration).
• Scalable and High Performance: Designed for large-scale, high-speed data transfers without compromising reliability.
• Enterprise-ready: Allows for custom transformations, streaming or batch modes, and scalable operations via Kubernetes.
• No Pipeline Rebuild Required: Handles format and schema changes without needing to rebuild data pipelines from scratch.

Pricing

• Free: VTS is open-source and free to use. Users are responsible for their own infrastructure and operational costs (self-hosted, user-managed).

Additional Notes

• VTS is suitable for organizations needing full control over their data migration processes and operating in secure or private environments.
• For a fully managed, out-of-the-box solution with enterprise support, Zilliz offers the Zilliz Migration Service, which is built on top of VTS.
