Integrated shock and vibration isolation

A method comprising:

• forming an enclosure portion of an apparatus with a width, a depth, and a height, wherein the enclosure portion has a footprint defined by the width and the depth;
• coupling a plurality of mounting features to the enclosure portion, the mounting features being configured to receive information handling systems along a direction corresponding to the depth;
• coupling a base portion disposed below the enclosure portion to the enclosure portion via at least one vibration damper, wherein the at least one vibration damper is a wire rope isolator;
• and
• coupling a plurality of casters to the base portion in respective positions that are laterally displaced from the base portion such that the positions are outside the footprint of the enclosure portion.

An apparatus comprising:

• an enclosure portion having a width, a depth, and a height, wherein the enclosure portion has a footprint defined by the width and the depth, and wherein the enclosure portion includes a plurality of mounting features that are configured to receive information handling systems along a direction corresponding to the depth;
• a base portion disposed below the enclosure portion and coupled to the enclosure portion;
• and
• a plurality of casters coupled to the base portion and mounted in respective positions that are laterally displaced from the base portion such that the positions are outside the footprint of the enclosure portion;
• wherein the apparatus is configured for transportation of the information handling systems, but is not configured to allow for operation of the information handling systems while the information handling systems are received therein.
