Ivy is pretty flexible in this regard (more so than Maven).
You can run a repository on  a filesystem (although it would need to be
shared) or from a basic HTTP server.
There are a handful of dedicated repository managers - archiva, nexus,
artifactory - that give you management tools and an admin interface, but
you can get by without them if you need.

But this is getting a bit off topic, so I'll bow out now.
