The point I was drifting toward was a peer to peer model where
each workstation shared some disk space as part of a virtual
central RAID NAS, which all of them could use. Not really like EC2
at all.
I kind of like the idea of a virtual NAS basedon the resources
of every peer on the network. I think there is software for this
but I have not looked in a long time.
A company called Mangosoft had developed something like this for Windows
a while ago. There is still a link to an article on their website

but it doesn't appear that they still make it. They have moved on to
shared Internet storage.
And here's another article on Medley
