Distributed systems with a centralized architecture present the well known problems of single point of failure and single point of congestion. Therefore, they do not scale. Decentralized systems, especially as peer-to-peer networks, are gaining popularity because they scale well,and they do not need a server to work. However, their complexity is higher due to the lack of a single point of control and synchronization, and because consistent decentralized storage is dicult to maintain when data constantly evolves. Self-management appears as a way of handling this higher complexity. We present a decentralized system built with a structured overlay network which is self-organized and self-healing, providing a transactional replicated storage for small or large scale systems.
