Distributed Production Grade Systems

When do web applications move beyond being hosted on proprietary production grade systems, and move to more wide-spread "production centres" distributed world-wide, a la CDN. Would that not help with lightning fast responses to serve user content ?

Similar to having distributed data centres, but hosting production level servers, where code could be deployed securely and remotely.

One argument against this could be that syncing all the distributed content would be difficult.
Another could be that production grade systems need to be absolutely secure, and impregnable, but couldn't systems evolve to tackle that ?
