The best way would be to store these files in Artifactory, which is
actually a common practice we see.
There are a couple of reasons for that:
- You automatically make your files searchable and secure
- You can assemble and expose common sets of install files using virtual
repositories
- Artifactory has great support for RPM provisioning via hosted YUM
repositories <http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/YUM+Repositories>
- The checksum-based storage of Artifactory makes it optimal for large file
storage - you can copy and move large ISO files without any storage
overhead
