Fortinet FortiGate 1001F Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 5-Year (FC-10-F1K1F-660-02-60)

Some FortiGate deployments need more than a support contract; they need someone actively driving the console. The FortiGate 1001F 5-Year Managed FortiGate Service (FC-10-F1K1F-660-02-60) puts Fortinet’s own NOC engineers on that job: initial device setup, ongoing network and policy change management, and 24×7 oversight of the appliance for a full five-year term. It is a subscription only, licensed against a FortiGate 1001F you already own or are purchasing separately, delivered electronically to any country.

What this service covers

The Managed FortiGate Service is an operations layer, not a security-feature license. Over the five-year term, Fortinet’s NOC team:

• Performs initial configuration: base setup of the FortiGate 1001F according to the agreed design, so the appliance goes live correctly the first time.
• Handles ongoing policy and network changes: firewall rule updates, routing adjustments, and configuration changes requested through the service, executed by Fortinet engineers rather than in-house staff.
• Monitors the device around the clock: 24×7 coverage means changes and health checks are not limited to business hours.

It does not replace FortiGuard security subscriptions (IPS, anti-malware, web filtering) or standard FortiCare hardware/software support; those remain separate lines on the FortiGate 1001F and continue to run alongside this managed service.

Who runs this instead of doing it in-house

This service suits teams that own a FortiGate 1001F but don’t carry a firewall-dedicated network engineer, branch or regional sites where local IT is stretched thin, and organizations that want change management executed by Fortinet’s own NOC rather than an internal ticket queue. Five years locks in a single term for a high-throughput appliance that is expected to stay in production well past its next refresh cycle, so ongoing change requests don’t need a separate renewal conversation for the length of that deployment.

One managed service vs. building the capability internally

Buying the NOC service is not the same decision as buying a security bundle. A UTP or Enterprise subscription decides what threats the FortiGate 1001F blocks; this service decides who operates the box day to day. Teams that already run their own change-management process and just need the security stack should look at the FortiGate 1001F’s UTP or Enterprise licensing instead. Teams without that internal bandwidth get both device setup and five years of ongoing operational support handled directly by Fortinet through this SKU.

Activation and delivery

The service is registered electronically to the FortiGate 1001F’s serial number; nothing ships. Once active, Fortinet’s NOC onboards the device, confirms baseline configuration, and change-management access begins for the term. A valid FortiGate 1001F is required before the service can be activated, and it can be ordered alongside new hardware or added to an appliance already in production.
