Black Box Corp. has expanded its portfolio of storage and charging solutions for mobile devices with a new "pay as you grow" stackable locker system. Called the iPad, Chromebook, Tablet, and Laptop Lockers, these configurable, stackable lockers feature the company’s signature IT cabinet design.

They can accommodate standard 19-inch rack IT equipment in addition to all sizes of tablets and other mobile devices. The Black Box stackable locker system allows customers to purchase what they need today with the flexibility to stack additional lockers up as they add devices, according to the folks at Black box. The stackable configuration ensures that the footprint remains small.

The system is designed for any environment where mobile or e-learning devices are stored: K-12 institutions, training environments, restaurants for wait staff to place wireless orders, airlines for digital flight and maintenance manuals, and medical professionals who use devices at the point of care for patient records, treatment, and disease diagnosis.

Each locker cube holds 10 devices, with dividers that keep them upright and protected from each other. An optional base storage drawer can store peripherals, thumb drives, and extra cables. Pricing starts at US$449.95 for a 10-unit locker cube and ranges up to $1,549.95 for a 40-unit locker system (4 cubes). Options include laminate tops, storage drawers and casters. The lockers include a lifetime warranty, and the power strips include a three-year warranty. Go to http://tinyurl.com/qa976h7 for more info.
