I see. Storage configuration is global per Artifactory instance and cannot
be changed per repo.
The default is to store artifacts on the file-system and metadata in
DB. With databases, such as Oracle, that are doing efficient blob handling
you can have the binaries in the database, with the main benefit of being
able to bootstrap Artifactory from a simple DB backup.
The file-system based storage will work great for all your repositories -
ISO or regular smaller artifacts, so I'd stick with that. The default
bundled filesystem-derbydb will work great, though we typically recommend
using the filesystem-mysql configuration to offload the JVM.
