Any examples of DHT based business app?

Question

I would be interested in creating distributed business systems without a central server. A Distributed Hash Table as used in p2p programs looks like the most promising storage solution. Are there already (open source) applications doing this? And if not, why not?

[after first response] There doesn't seem to be much happening after 2005. Are there any inherent problems with DHTs? I would think having fast access to scalable amounts of replicated storage would be interesting.

Answer 1

There is Adeona, built on OpenDHT, that is referred to by this article.

Also, you may be able to find some references on the Bamboo site. Bamboo is an open-source DHT architecture though the site hasn't been updated since 2005.
