Fortinet FortiGate 1000F Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 5-Year (FC-10-F1K0F-660-02-60)

Running a FortiGate 1000F without a dedicated security team behind it is common; running one without anyone watching the change log is riskier. The Managed FortiGate Service pairs the appliance with Fortinet’s own NOC engineers, who handle onboarding, ongoing rule changes, and firmware oversight so the box stays configured the way it was designed to be. SKU FC-10-F1K0F-660-02-60 covers a full 5 years of that coverage on a single FortiGate 1000F, sold as an electronic subscription with no hardware attached.

What it covers

Managed FortiGate Service (FC-10-…-660-…) puts a Fortinet-certified NOC team behind the appliance around the clock. Per Fortinet’s own service catalog, the subscription includes:

• Deploy: initial FortiGate 1000F configuration aligned to Fortinet best practices, plus onboarding of any attached FortiAPs, FortiSwitches, or FortiExtenders.
• Operate: ongoing firewall rule and threat-prevention changes handled through an ITIL-aligned change process, with separation of change initiator/approver, a four-eyes review step, full revision history, and a published change calendar.
• Optimize: PSIRT vulnerability identification with automatic patch triggers for medium-severity-and-up findings, a security posture audit against Fortinet’s hardening guidelines, and expert-led firmware upgrades.
• Access to a dedicated Managed FortiGate Service portal, integration with FortiCloud, and coverage backed by SOC2 Type II and ISO27001-certified operations across North America, EMEA, and APAC (with data centers in Burnaby, Dallas, Frankfurt, and Tokyo).

It does not include hardware RMA, FortiGuard content-inspection feeds (IPS, AV, web/DNS filtering), or FortiCare phone support on its own; those are separate line items or come bundled at the Enterprise tier (see below).

Who needs it

This fits organizations running a FortiGate 1000F without a bench of in-house firewall engineers, distributed teams that need consistent change control across a fleet, and MSSPs who want a Fortinet-run NOC layer under their own service instead of staffing 24×7 coverage themselves. Regulated environments benefit from the ITIL change discipline and revision history that come with every ticket.

Activation & delivery

There’s no physical shipment with this SKU. After purchase, register the contract code in your FortiCloud account and associate it with the target FortiGate 1000F unit, then submit an onboarding request through the Managed FortiGate Service portal wizard. Fortinet’s NOC team takes it from there for the life of the 5-year term. Delivery is worldwide and electronic; the license activates against your device serial number regardless of where the unit is deployed.

One service vs. the bundle

Managed FortiGate Service is an à-la-carte NOC/SOC line item that Fortinet also folds into its Enterprise Protection subscription bundle. If the 1000F is also going to need FortiGuard IPS, anti-malware, and URL/DNS/video filtering on top of NOC management, the Enterprise bundle (FC-10-F1K0F-809-02-60) covers all of it under one subscription instead of stacking separate SKUs. The table below shows where the two managed-service line items land across Fortinet’s bundle tiers.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca processes this as a straightforward electronic order: no shipping, no waiting on freight, just a contract code delivered to your FortiCloud account so onboarding can start the same week. If a 3-year or 1-year term suits your budget cycle better, or the FortiGate 1000F ends up needing broader FortiGuard coverage alongside the NOC service, our team can walk through the Enterprise bundle math before you commit to five years.
