We use various methods here at UNC Charlotte, we have an entire
department of Central IT dedicated to Research Computing (although the
College of Computing and Infomatics assists them in their endevors).
Specifically over in the College of Computing and Infomatics we use
various methods.
For large (1TB+)  data sets we use our Dell Compellent (1 Petabyte of
store capacity with easy expansion if needed)
For Small and Medium data sets we use our Fileserver (and sometimes
the compellent...depending on need)
We also recommend our researchers augment the above using Google Drive
and Dropbox for Business.
For non-employee access (affiliate researchers etc) the university has
a method to create sponsored accounts and from there we just add them
to a VPN group and go.
