Fortinet FortiGate 1000F Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 1-Year (FC-10-F1K0F-660-02-12)

Running policy changes on a FortiGate 1000F at 2am, or covering a change window when the security team is short-staffed, is exactly the kind of work most IT groups would rather hand off. The FortiGate 1000F Managed FortiGate Service, NOC (FC-10-F1K0F-660-02-12) does that: for twelve months, Fortinet’s own Network Operations Center takes ownership of initial device setup and then stays on call 24×7 for network and policy change management on that specific 1000F. Subscription only, no hardware, delivered electronically worldwide.

What this service covers

The 1000F sits at the high-performance end of the FortiGate line, rated for 19 Gbps IPS throughput, 15 Gbps NGFW throughput, and 13 Gbps threat protection, with a mix of 100 GE, 40 GE, 25 GE, and 10 GE interfaces built for datacenter and campus-core deployments. That scale is exactly where a managed NOC layer earns its keep: firewall rule sets on a box this size grow complex fast, and a missed change window has a bigger blast radius than on a branch appliance.

• Initial device setup: Fortinet NOC engineers configure the 1000F to your intended baseline before it goes into production, rather than leaving first-boot configuration to internal staff learning the platform on the fly.
• Ongoing network change management: routing, interface, and network-object changes are submitted to and executed by the NOC team instead of an internal admin logging in after hours.
• Ongoing policy change management: firewall policy, NAT, and security profile changes go through the same NOC channel, with a documented change trail for each request.
• 24×7 coverage: the service runs around the clock for the full term, not limited to business hours.

It runs alongside your existing FortiGuard security subscriptions and FortiCare support agreement on this device; it doesn’t replace them.

Who needs the standalone service

This fits organizations that own a FortiGate 1000F but don’t want to staff round-the-clock change management internally: a lean IT team covering a datacenter firewall outside normal hours, an MSP client that wants Fortinet-direct operations on a specific appliance, or a security team that would rather approve changes than execute them at 3am. It’s a supplement to whatever FortiGuard and FortiCare coverage is already on the device, not a replacement for either.

Managed NOC service vs. handling changes in-house

Keeping change management in-house means your own staff (or an on-call rotation) owns every firewall rule edit, routing change, and policy update on the 1000F, at whatever hours those requests come in. Adding this service shifts that execution load to Fortinet’s NOC for the term of the license, while your team retains approval authority and oversight. It’s worth pairing with FortiCare Premium support on the same device so hardware and software issues are covered by the same tier of Fortinet-direct response as the change management.

Activation & delivery

Delivery is electronic: DataCenter360.ca issues the license key against the FortiGate 1000F’s serial number and it activates through FortiCare, with no shipping wait. Because activation is tied to the serial number rather than a physical location, this service can be ordered for a 1000F deployed anywhere in the world.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner, and licenses like this one ship the same way: a genuine Fortinet SKU, applied against your device’s serial number, with a receipt and invoice ready for procurement. If you’re not sure whether a 1-year, 3-year, or 5-year term makes more sense for how long you’ll run the 1000F, ask before ordering and we’ll size it to your renewal cycle.
