Fortinet FortiGate 1100E Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 3-Year (FC-10-F11HE-660-02-36)

Running a FortiGate 1100E at enterprise scale means a steady stream of policy change requests, firmware release cycles, and vulnerability assessments that consume skilled staff hours. The FC-10-F11HE-660-02-36 is a 3-year Managed FortiGate Service (MFGS) subscription that offloads that operational work to Fortinet’s own NOC team, available 24×7 for the full term. From initial device setup to day-to-day policy management, Fortinet engineers handle the configuration work so your security team can focus on higher-priority projects.

What the Managed FortiGate Service covers

MFGS works across three structured phases over the life of the subscription:

• Deploy. Fortinet NOC engineers configure the FortiGate 1100E to Fortinet best practices before it enters production. Coverage includes NGFW baseline setup, Security Fabric onboarding, Secure SD-WAN, remote access policies, and LAN edge components such as FortiAPs and FortiSwitches.
• Operate. Ongoing network and policy changes are processed through an ITIL-aligned change management workflow with a Four Eyes Principle (separate change initiator and approver roles), a full revision history, and a change schedule calendar. Fortinet handles modification and deletion of existing configuration objects plus addition of new objects per the service catalog. The management tunnel is monitored continuously — if it drops for more than 10 minutes, a proactive service request is generated automatically.
• Optimize. PSIRT vulnerability management runs continuously, with automatic patching triggered for vulnerabilities rated medium or higher. Fortinet engineers also execute firmware upgrades using risk-reducing best practices. A dedicated service portal gives you full visibility into all activity. Optional security posture assessments audit the FortiGate 1100E against Fortinet’s current guidelines to surface misconfigurations and coverage gaps.

The service integrates with FortiCloud and provides access to Central Management, so existing monitoring and reporting workflows remain intact. If your organization also holds a FortiGuard SOCaaS subscription, MFGS can integrate with it to support rapid incident containment when alerts escalate.

Who buys this service

Three types of organizations typically subscribe. Large enterprises without a dedicated network security operations function get 24×7 expert coverage without adding headcount. Security teams already stretched across multiple priorities can delegate routine FortiGate administration while retaining ownership of policy decisions and approvals. MSPs and MSSPs who manage FortiGate environments for clients use MFGS to extend team capacity and place change management under a formal, auditable ITIL-compliant process.

The 3-year term aligns with a standard firewall deployment cycle for the FortiGate 1100E and locks in the current service pricing for that period. Organizations that want flexibility can use the 1-year term, while those with long-term commitments can consolidate with the 5-year option.

Activation and delivery

This is a purely electronic subscription. No hardware ships. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key by email, typically within 0 to 1 business days. The license registers against the FortiGate 1100E serial number through Fortinet’s support portal. Once activated, Fortinet’s NOC team initiates the onboarding process, provisions access to the dedicated service portal, and begins configuration review according to the deployment plan.

Managed operations versus security subscriptions

MFGS is a managed operations service, not a threat intelligence or security content subscription. It does not replace FortiCare technical support, FortiGuard security services (such as UTP or Enterprise bundles), or FortiCloud management. FortiGuard subscriptions control what the FortiGate 1100E detects and blocks. MFGS controls who configures and changes the firewall. The two categories work alongside each other. Most enterprise FortiGate 1100E deployments carry a FortiGuard security bundle for threat prevention, a FortiCare contract for hardware support, and MFGS for managed operations as separate, complementary subscriptions.
