Fortinet FortiGate 1001F Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 1-Year (FC-10-F1K1F-660-02-12)

Running a FortiGate 1001F well takes ongoing attention: rule changes, network adjustments, and someone watching the box outside business hours. The FortiGate 1001F 1-Year Managed FortiGate Service (FC-10-F1K1F-660-02-12) puts that work in the hands of Fortinet’s own NOC team for a twelve-month term, covering initial configuration through day-to-day policy and network changes. It’s a subscription only, applied against a FortiGate 1001F you already own or are ordering separately, and it’s licensed for delivery to any country.

What this service covers

This is an operations service, not a security-feature license. Over the one-year term, Fortinet’s NOC team:

• Handles initial device setup: configures the FortiGate 1001F against the agreed design before it goes into production, rather than leaving that step to internal staff.
• Makes ongoing policy and network changes: firewall rule updates, routing changes, and other configuration work executed directly by Fortinet engineers on request.
• Monitors the appliance around the clock: 24×7 oversight and change support, not limited to a single time zone or shift.

FortiGuard security subscriptions (IPS, anti-malware, web filtering) and standard FortiCare hardware/software support are separate lines on the FortiGate 1001F and continue to run independently alongside this managed service.

Who this fits

This term suits organizations testing whether a fully managed operating model works for them before committing longer, teams with a FortiGate 1001F but no dedicated firewall engineer on staff, and branch sites where local IT already juggles too many platforms to own change management themselves. A one-year term keeps the commitment short while still handing Fortinet’s NOC full responsibility for setup and ongoing changes.

One managed service vs. handling it internally

This SKU answers a different question than a UTP or Enterprise bundle. A security bundle decides what the FortiGate 1001F blocks; this service decides who makes changes to the box day to day. If your team already owns change management and only needs the security stack, look at the FortiGate 1001F’s UTP or Enterprise licensing instead. If that operational capacity isn’t there internally, this SKU covers both the initial setup and a full year of hands-on management directly from Fortinet.

Activation and delivery

Nothing physical ships. The service registers electronically against the FortiGate 1001F’s serial number; once active, Fortinet’s NOC onboards the device, confirms baseline configuration, and change-management access begins for the one-year term. A valid FortiGate 1001F is required before activation, whether that’s new hardware on order now or an appliance already in production.
