A 3-year FortiCare Premium contract on the FortiSwitch 1048G matches the typical network refresh cycle and removes the annual renewal task from the support calendar. The registered FS-1048G stays covered with 24×7 telephone access, a 1-hour critical-issue response, and advanced hardware replacement, all activated once against a single serial number.
FortiCare Premium is the mid-tier in Fortinet’s three-level support structure. The 1-hour critical-issue response distinguishes it from Essential’s next-business-day handling, and telephone access is included throughout. When hardware fails, advanced replacement ships before the original is returned, reducing rack downtime on the FS-1048G. Firmware updates, the FortiCloud asset portal, and Fortinet’s online toolset are available at all tiers. Extended LTS and the Elite monitoring portal are exclusive to the Elite tier.

The FortiSwitch 1048G serves as a high-density aggregation or spine switch in data-center environments, carrying 48 25GE SFP28 ports and 100GE uplinks running FortiOS in a Security Fabric. Teams that manage this switch in production infrastructure, with on-call responsibilities and SLA commitments to internal users or tenants, benefit from a 3-year Premium term because response and replacement guarantees remain consistent across the hardware’s active service life. Organizations with demanding uptime targets but no requirement for the Elite monitoring portal will find Premium the appropriate fit.
This contract is an electronic license with no physical shipment. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca provides a Fortinet entitlement confirmation by email. Registration takes place on the Fortinet Support Portal at support.fortinet.com: associate the license with the FS-1048G serial number and support activates for the full 3-year term immediately. The contract is valid worldwide; no regional restrictions apply. Store the entitlement confirmation alongside the serial number, as both are required to open RMA cases.
This SKU covers FortiCare Premium support only. FortiGuard security subscriptions, hardware-plus-subscription bundles, and other Fortinet services are separate purchases. If the FortiSwitch 1048G is already in service without a support contract, this standalone 3-year term adds coverage to the existing device without requiring a hardware change. Check any current contract’s expiry date before purchasing to avoid overlap. For deployments that include multiple Fortinet products, each product’s support contract is managed independently on the Fortinet Support Portal.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner offering the 3-year term for direct purchase or volume quoting. A 3-year commitment suits organizations that plan to keep the FortiSwitch 1048G through a full hardware refresh cycle: purchasing once removes the annual renewal step and locks in coverage continuity. Multi-unit deployments can request a consolidated quote to align contract dates across all registered FS-1048G serial numbers.
