+1 on not trying to use some other solution.  Some people I know were trying to 
use WebDAV and the WebDAV wagon to work around some network limitation that 
they had and it was extremely painful and the WebDAV wagon seems to have not 
really been tested very well.

I stood up an artifactory server for my old team used for several years and 
never, ever had to do anything to it (once I added the commands to start it to 
the /etc/init.d scripts)...  By default, it uses Tomcat so it is very simple to 
run.

I'm starting to appreciate that perspective but then again it's another 
component in our infra that can fail, requires maintenance, etc.

Additionally there's replication , multiple datacenters, etc.
