Fortinet FortiGate 2600F Managed FortiGate Service 24×7 Subscription, 3-Year (FC-10-F26HF-660-02-36)

Handing a core FortiGate 2600F to a NOC team is a deliberate trade: less day-to-day fiddling for your staff, more accountability for change control. FC-10-F26HF-660-02-36 is Fortinet’s Managed FortiGate service for the 2600F over a 3-year term. NOC engineers commission the device, execute policy changes on request, and watch its health around the clock, while your own admins keep full visibility into what changes and when.

What the Managed FortiGate Service Covers

Service code 660 puts the FortiGate 2600F under Fortinet NOC management for three years. Coverage includes initial device setup and commissioning, network and routing policy configuration, ongoing policy change management submitted as service requests, continuous monitoring of device health and availability, and change notifications with reporting delivered back to your team. The NOC works through FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer Cloud, so there is no separate management platform to stand up on your end. A 3-year term is the middle ground between a 1-year contract you renegotiate annually and a 5-year lock-in, matching a typical hardware refresh cycle for many 2600F deployments.

Who Runs a 2600F This Way

Teams that add the 660 service to a 2600F usually have security staff spread across too many devices to hand-manage each one, or IT generalists who own the firewall but do not want to own firewall engineering. It also shows up wherever change history needs to be documented for audits: every policy edit goes through the NOC’s request workflow instead of an ad-hoc console change, which produces a traceable record almost by accident. Organizations planning a 3-year hardware and support cycle for the 2600F often line this term up with that same window.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F26HF-660-02-36 is an electronic subscription, not a shipped item, and DataCenter360.ca issues the license entitlement within 0-1 business days of order. Once activated in the Fortinet Support Portal, Fortinet’s onboarding team schedules the initial setup call to begin commissioning the 2600F. The appliance itself is sold separately; this SKU covers management only, for whichever 2600F unit you already own or are purchasing alongside it.

Managed Service vs. a Self-Managed FortiGuard Bundle

The 660 service and a FortiGuard bundle (UTP or Enterprise on the 2600F) address different layers and often run together. The bundle activates the security engines themselves: IPS, antivirus, web filtering, sandboxing. The 660 service supplies the people who configure and tune those engines correctly and keep the policy set current. A team with in-house firewall expertise may only need the bundle; a team stretched thin adds the NOC service on top so the bundle’s features actually get used well, not just switched on.
