Product description

Running a FortiGate 2601F in a production data center means your security infrastructure is processing tens of gigabits per second at any given moment. That scale demands centralized, always-on visibility — not a patchwork of CLI sessions and local log files. FC-10-F26F1-131-02-36 delivers three years of FortiGate Cloud for the FG-2601F: a hosted management portal, real-time traffic analytics, and one full year of log retention, all without deploying on-premises management hardware.

What FortiGate Cloud covers

FortiGate Cloud (service code 131) is Fortinet’s cloud-hosted management and analytics platform for FortiGate appliances. Under this 3-year subscription, the FG-2601F connects to FortiGate Cloud and gains:

  • Single-pane-of-glass device management — push configuration changes, monitor health status, and run firmware upgrades from a browser without a VPN to the appliance
  • Traffic analytics — session, application, and threat dashboards updated in near real-time, with drill-down views across policy rules and interfaces
  • Log storage and retention — 1 year of log data retained in Fortinet’s cloud infrastructure, meeting common audit and compliance timelines without sizing your own log server
  • Zero-touch provisioning — new FG-2601F units can link to FortiGate Cloud at boot, receiving their configuration before a technician ever touches them
  • SD-WAN orchestration — for multi-site deployments that extend the 2601F into a branch-facing SD-WAN hub, FortiGate Cloud provides overlay visibility and path quality data

The subscription is per-device and term-based. After 3 years, renew with the same SKU to keep cloud management and log access uninterrupted.

Who needs this license

The FortiGate 2601F is a data center NGFW rated at 27 Gbps NGFW throughput and 31 Gbps IPS throughput. It targets carrier-grade, hyperscale, and large enterprise environments where a local FortiManager appliance is either not deployed or not cost-justified for a subset of sites. FC-10-F26F1-131-02-36 fits organizations that:

  • Operate the FG-2601F as a standalone perimeter or core firewall and want cloud-hosted management without a separate management appliance
  • Need multi-year log retention for compliance audits — this SKU covers 1 year of log storage per year of the subscription (3 years total coverage)
  • Run distributed deployments where IT staff manage the appliance remotely and need a secure, browser-accessible control plane

Activation and delivery

FC-10-F26F1-131-02-36 is an electronic subscription license. After your order is confirmed, DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation key to your email, typically within the same business day. Register the key in the Fortinet Support portal and bind it to the FG-2601F serial number. The device then checks in with FortiGate Cloud and management access activates immediately — no appliance shipment, no waiting for hardware.

This license is worldwide-eligible. Electronic delivery reaches any country; there are no export restrictions on subscription keys.

FortiGate Cloud vs. the full management stack

FortiGate Cloud covers individual device management and analytics for the FG-2601F. It is a good fit when the 2601F is one of a handful of managed devices. Organizations running dozens of FortiGates or requiring full SIEM-grade log correlation should evaluate FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager licenses instead — those platforms provide centralized policy management across the entire Fortinet Security Fabric at enterprise scale. If your team needs the full FortiGuard security service suite alongside management, the Enterprise bundle (FC-10-F26F1-809-02-36) bundles IPS, AV, URL filtering, and more under a single yearly commitment. FortiGate Cloud is the focused, lower-cost option when cloud management and log retention are the specific gaps to close.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner serving IT teams across Canada and worldwide for electronic licenses. The 3-year FortiGate Cloud subscription for the FG-2601F ships as an electronic key with same-day or next-business-day delivery. If you are pricing a multi-unit deployment or need a formal PO quote, use the Request a Quote form — our team responds to data center inquiries the same business day.

What does the 1-year log retention mean on a 3-year subscription?

The “1 Year Log Retention” refers to how long individual log entries are stored in FortiGate Cloud’s hosted storage. At any point during the 3-year subscription, the past 12 months of logs are available for query and download. Logs older than one year are automatically purged. The subscription itself lasts 3 years — it does not mean logs accumulate for 3 years.

Can I manage more than one FortiGate 2601F with this license?

No. FC-10-F26F1-131-02-36 is tied to a single FortiGate 2601F serial number. Each appliance requires its own FortiGate Cloud license. If you manage multiple FG-2601F units, you will need a separate license per device. Organizations with large fleets of FortiGates typically find FortiManager a more scalable alternative for centralized policy management.

Is this license delivered worldwide or only in Canada?

FC-10-F26F1-131-02-36 is an electronic subscription license with no geographic shipping restriction. DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation key to any country electronically. Hardware FortiGate appliances ship within Canada only, but licenses and subscriptions are available worldwide.

Does FortiGate Cloud replace FortiManager for the FG-2601F?

For a single or small number of appliances, FortiGate Cloud can serve as the primary management interface. It covers configuration, firmware updates, analytics, and log retention through a hosted portal. FortiManager becomes the better choice at scale — when you need centralized policy management, revision history, and scripting across many FortiGate devices simultaneously. The two can also coexist: FortiManager handles policy and FortiGate Cloud provides supplemental analytics.

What happens to my FortiGate Cloud access when the subscription expires?

When FC-10-F26F1-131-02-36 expires, the FG-2601F loses cloud management access and log uploads stop. Stored logs already in FortiGate Cloud may become inaccessible. Fortinet recommends renewing before expiry to maintain continuity. DataCenter360.ca can supply the renewal SKU and process it electronically before the expiry date to avoid any gap in management access.
