Fortinet FortiWeb VMC01 FortiCare Premium Support, 5-Year (FC-10-VMC01-248-02-60)

When a FortiWeb VMC01 instance is part of a long-term cloud WAF strategy, a five-year FortiCare Premium contract eliminates four renewal events and provides the longest uninterrupted block of 24×7 TAC access, firmware eligibility, and priority response available for this virtual tier in a single transaction.

Overview

This five-year FortiCare Premium contract activates 60 months of continuous support coverage for the FortiWeb VMC01 capacity tier from a single purchase. The contract includes 24×7 access to Fortinet’s TAC, firmware update rights, WAF signature refreshes, and the priority engineer response SLAs that distinguish Premium from Essential support. Security intelligence add-ons such as IP Reputation, AV scanning, and bot mitigation modules are not included; they require separate subscriptions aligned to your own renewal schedule. Delivery is electronic and worldwide, with no physical component.

Five years is the maximum single-term commitment available for FortiCare Premium on the VMC01 tier. Organizations that commit to this term achieve the highest savings over time relative to shorter renewal cycles and reduce administrative overhead to a single procurement event across the entire period. The trade-off is reduced flexibility if capacity requirements change significantly before the contract expires; a tier upgrade would require a new entitlement purchase for the higher-capacity SKU.

Who it suits

This SKU targets organizations with a clear five-year operational horizon for their FortiWeb VMC01 deployment. It is particularly relevant for enterprises and managed service providers that have standardized on the entry-level virtual WAF tier for a defined workload class and want to lock in premium support continuity without revisiting the contract annually. Budget-cycle driven IT teams that prefer multi-year capital expenditure planning over recurring operational renewals will find the five-year term easier to forecast and approve. As with all FortiWeb virtual support contracts, entitlement is delivered electronically and is valid worldwide regardless of where the VMC01 instance is hosted.
