Abstract
Examples associated with device storage isolation are described. One example apparatus includes a set of receptacles for electronic devices. Each receptacle includes a power connector to provide power to an electronic device stored in the receptacle, a network connector to provide a network connection to the electronic device stored in the receptacle, and a locking mechanism to secure contents of the receptacle. Members of the set of receptacles are digitally isolated from other members of the set of receptacles. The apparatus also includes an authentication module to authenticate a user based on a credential provided by the user. The authentication module controls a selected locking mechanism of a selected member of the set of receptacles based on the credential and based on data received from a remote information technology module. The apparatus also includes a user interface module to instruct the user through the process of storing a received electronic device in the receptacle or retrieving a provided electronic device from the receptacle.
