Actually the market is changing fast and the CDNs have been pushed to be creative with their offerings, thus the various bundles and new features. Many customers now expect the CDN to be able to take on any content-related task (storage, automated encoding, delivery, protection, etc.) and it seems that as long as the price is right, most customers prefer to store the content inside the CDN and call it a day instead of managing storage servers.
