Fortinet FortiGate 2600F DC Managed FortiGate Service 24×7 Subscription, 3-Year (FC-10-FD26F-660-02-36)

Running a high-throughput data center firewall at the FortiGate 2600F-DC’s scale demands continuous attention: configuration changes, policy updates, and network adjustments can consume significant staff hours. The Managed FortiGate Service (FC-10-FD26F-660-02-36) hands that operational work to Fortinet’s own NOC team on a 24×7 basis, so your engineers can focus on architecture and strategy rather than device-level management tasks.

What the Managed FortiGate Service Covers

This three-year subscription authorizes Fortinet NOC engineers to work directly on your FortiGate 2600F-DC. Their scope covers:

• Device setup: initial onboarding, baseline configuration, and interface provisioning for the 2600F-DC.
• Network change management: routing updates, VLAN changes, and connectivity modifications processed through an approved change-management workflow.
• Policy change management: firewall rule additions, modifications, and removals executed by Fortinet NOC staff on request.
• 24×7 availability: Fortinet’s NOC operates around the clock; change requests and device issues are handled at any hour.

The service is scoped to operational management of the FortiGate 2600F-DC specifically. Security threat detection and response at the FortiGuard layer are covered by the separate FortiGuard subscription bundles.

Who Benefits from This Service

The Managed FortiGate Service is a strong fit for:

• Data center teams that run the FortiGate 2600F-DC as a critical path device but cannot staff 24×7 network operations internally.
• Organizations with strict change-management processes that want a vendor-backed team executing firewall changes on a defined schedule.
• IT departments managing multiple sites or platforms where firewall administration competes with other priorities.
• Environments undergoing rapid growth where policy and routing changes are frequent.

For organizations that have the staff but need FortiGuard security content (threat feeds, URL filtering, sandboxing), the UTP or Enterprise bundle is typically the right starting point instead.

Activation and Electronic Delivery

FC-10-FD26F-660-02-36 is a pure subscription license. There is no hardware component and nothing to ship. After purchase, Fortinet generates a license key tied to your registered FortiGate 2600F-DC serial number. You register it through the Fortinet Support Portal, which activates the managed service agreement and connects your device to the Fortinet NOC queue. Delivery is electronic and the process works the same regardless of the purchaser’s country.

The three-year term begins on the activation date. DataCenter360.ca sends order confirmation immediately after checkout; Fortinet typically processes the entitlement within one business day.

Managed NOC Service vs. FortiGuard Security Bundles

These are complementary, not competing, services. The Managed FortiGate Service (svc 660) covers how the device is operated: who makes changes, when, and through what process. FortiGuard bundles (UTP, Enterprise) cover what the device knows: threat intelligence, URL categories, malware signatures, and sandboxing feeds.

A typical deployment for the FortiGate 2600F-DC pairs a FortiGuard bundle (for security content) with the Managed NOC service (for ongoing administration). Neither service makes the other redundant. If budget allows only one, consider the FortiGuard bundle first to ensure the device has current security intelligence, then add managed operations as capacity allows.
