Product description

Covering a FortiSwitch T1024E for five years in a single transaction aligns support expense with the switch’s full operational lifecycle and eliminates annual renewal management for 60 months. FC-10-T1E24-314-02-60 is a cost-efficient option for organizations that have committed the FS-T1024E to a long-term data-center role and want Essential-tier entitlements to run the duration without revisiting the support contract each year.

What it covers

FortiCare Essential for the FortiSwitch T1024E includes access to firmware and feature releases, Fortinet’s online support tools and asset portal, a next-business-day critical-issue response SLA, and return-and-replace RMA coverage for the full 5-year term. Telephone support and advance hardware replacement are not available at the Essential tier; those entitlements require FortiCare Premium or Elite.

Who needs it

The 5-year term is suited to organizations where the T1024E fills a stable, long-term function in the data center and where IT teams have the internal network expertise to handle most issues without Fortinet telephone escalation. IT departments operating under multi-year capital budgets benefit from resolving 60 months of support cost in a single line item. The contract is also a strong fit where compliance or asset-management requirements call for continuous, documented support coverage across the switch’s expected service life.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-T1E24-314-02-60 is issued as an electronic license against the registered FS-T1024E serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal. Delivery is worldwide with no physical shipment. As with all SKUs in this renewal family, the contract is renewal-only and cannot be purchased alongside a new hardware unit as an initial support contract. The 5-year term begins on the contract start date confirmed during activation.

One service vs the bundle

Over five years, the cumulative difference in cost between Essential, Premium, and Elite is most pronounced. The table below outlines which features each tier delivers so you can confirm Essential meets the requirements for the T1024E across the full contract period. If telephone support or a faster hardware replacement SLA becomes a requirement before the 5-year term ends, an in-term upgrade is available.

Frequently asked questions

How does the per-year cost of a 5-year Essential contract compare to shorter terms?
Fortinet sets list pricing by term, and the per-year cost varies across the 1-year (FC-10-T1E24-314-02-12), 3-year (FC-10-T1E24-314-02-36), and 5-year (FC-10-T1E24-314-02-60) options. You can compare all three on DataCenter360.ca to identify which term aligns best with your budget cycle and total cost of ownership target.
Is FC-10-T1E24-314-02-60 a renewal-only SKU?
Yes. The 5-year FortiCare Essential contract applies only to FortiSwitch T1024E units already registered with Fortinet. It is not available as an initial support contract for new hardware purchases.
What happens if the FortiSwitch T1024E reaches end-of-life before the 5-year support period ends?
Fortinet’s EOL policy determines the extent of support provided after a product’s end-of-support date. If the T1024E’s lifecycle timeline is a concern before committing to a 5-year term, contact DataCenter360.ca to confirm the current lifecycle status before placing the order.
Does Essential include advance hardware replacement over the full 5-year term?
No. Essential includes return-and-replace RMA throughout the contract: the faulty unit is returned to Fortinet first, and the replacement ships after receipt. Advance replacement, where the new unit ships before the return, requires FortiCare Premium or Elite.
Can the 5-year support contract follow the switch if it is relocated to a different site?
Yes. Fortinet support contracts are tied to the device serial number, not a physical address, so the T1024E can be redeployed to any location worldwide without affecting the contract. A transfer to a different legal entity requires Fortinet’s standard asset transfer process; DataCenter360.ca can assist with that request.
