Fortinet FortiManager 1000G Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 3-Year (FC-10-FM1KG-210-02-36)

A 3-year Next Calendar Day Priority RMA add-on aligns hardware replacement coverage with most organizations’ standard IT planning and procurement cycles. For teams managing a FortiManager 1000G under a defined infrastructure contract or multi-year operational agreement, locking in Priority RMA for 36 months eliminates three consecutive annual renewal events and guarantees the same next-calendar-day shipment commitment throughout the entire coverage window.

Overview

Next Calendar Day Priority RMA upgrades the hardware replacement SLA on the FortiManager 1000G beyond the Advanced Replacement already included with FortiCare Premium or Elite. When a hardware failure is reported before Fortinet’s daily cutoff, a replacement unit ships the next calendar day, including weekends and statutory holidays, rather than within a number of business days. That distinction is significant in high-availability environments where a failure on a Friday or during a holiday period would otherwise mean waiting through non-business days before dispatch. The 3-year term provides uninterrupted coverage for 36 months from the activation date. The add-on requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite subscription on the same appliance and cannot be purchased without one.

Who it suits

Enterprises and managed service providers that have standardized on the FortiManager 1000G for long-term centralized management of a large Fortinet estate are the primary audience for a 3-year term. When the appliance coordinates policy, logging, and compliance monitoring across thousands of devices in multiple regions, the cost of extended hardware downtime clearly outweighs the incremental spend on Priority RMA. Organizations whose FortiCare subscriptions are already on a 3-year renewal cycle benefit most: a matching 3-year Priority RMA term keeps all support tiers synchronized to a single expiry date, eliminating partial-year gaps and reducing administrative overhead at renewal time.
