Redefining media delivery with private CDN
While traditional Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are the “go to” solution for video streaming, some organisations find themselves needing more flexibility and transparency than public networks provide. In this session, we asked the question, 'can private content delivery with dedicated resources help enable better control over distribution and cost at the same time?'

- Matt George, Director of Segment Marketing & Enterprise Transformation at Equinix
- Thijs Feryn, Technical Evangelist at Varnish Software
This session closed the event:
