'CDNs Vs. Cloud Computing' To Be Debated At The CDN World Forum

Online, February 17, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Two of computing's hottest topics, Cloud Computing and Content Delivery Networks (CDN) will be brought together in a shared discussion at the CDN World Forum - http://www.cdnconference.com - taking place on the 21st and 22nd of June at Olympia, London.
