Fortinet FortiGate 101F FortiCare Premium, 1-Year (FC-10-F101F-247-02-12)

The FortiGate 101F adds 480 GB of onboard SSD to the 100F chassis, giving security teams local log storage without an external syslog appliance. FortiCare Premium (FC-10-F101F-247-02-12) pairs with that hardware to deliver a one-year support subscription: phone access, one-hour P1 response, and RMA coverage so the unit stays operational when it matters most.

What FortiCare Premium covers

Fortinet structures FortiCare into three tiers. This subscription places the FortiGate 101F in the Premium tier. The table below summarizes what separates each level:

The key step up from Essential is direct telephone support and the one-hour P1 response SLA. For a firewall handling compliance logging on its onboard SSD, fast restoration of service is essential.

Who needs it

FortiGate 101F owners who cannot afford extended downtime — healthcare clinics, financial branch offices, professional services firms with local compliance obligations. The local SSD on the 101F means log data lives on the device; an RMA-ready support contract ensures that data capture stays uninterrupted.

Activation and delivery

FortiCare Premium is delivered as a registration key sent to your email, normally within the same business day your order is placed. Register the key in the Fortinet Support Portal under your 101F serial number and support begins immediately. No hardware is shipped.

FortiCare Premium vs. a bundle

This subscription provides support infrastructure only. If your FortiGate 101F also needs IPS, antivirus, web filtering, or application control, you would need a FortiGuard subscription separately. The UTP and Enterprise bundles combine FortiCare Plus with FortiGuard services into a single term, which is often more cost-effective for new deployments.
