Fortinet FortiGate 1100E-DC FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F11DE-189-02-12)

Migrating a complex FortiGate 1100E-DC deployment from a previous firewall platform carries real operational risk when done manually. Policy sets that have accumulated over years, NAT rules, address objects, static routes — converting these by hand introduces errors that only surface after cutover. The FortiConverter Service (FC-10-F11DE-189-02-12) handles that conversion automatically, applying Fortinet’s tested methodology and expert review so the 1100E-DC comes up with a configuration that reflects the intent of the original, not a hand-transcribed approximation.

What FortiConverter Service Covers

This is a one-time service subscription tied to the FortiGate 1100E-DC. It activates FortiConverter directly within FortiOS on the device and through a cloud portal where configuration files are uploaded and processed. The conversion covers:

• Firewall policies and address objects from the source platform
• Interface NAT rules
• Static routes
• All FortiGate-to-FortiGate migration scenarios (fully supported)

Supported source vendors include Barracuda, Check Point, Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Forcepoint, Huawei, Juniper, Mikrotik, Palo Alto Networks, pfSense, SonicWall, Sophos, Ubiquiti, WatchGuard, Zyxel, and others. The output is a validated FortiGate configuration file ready to import, along with a summary report and audit documentation for each conversion run.

Who Needs This Service

This SKU applies specifically to the FortiGate 1100E-DC, a high-end data center firewall with multi-gigabit throughput and high port density. Organizations that typically need it fall into two scenarios:

• Replacing a third-party firewall in a data center environment with the FortiGate 1100E-DC and needing the existing ruleset ported over accurately
• Refreshing from an older FortiGate to the 1100E-DC and wanting to clean up accumulated policy complexity in the process

Teams handling complex environments with hundreds of policies benefit most. Fortinet experts review and validate the converted configuration before delivery, catching redundant rules and mismatches that a bulk export-and-import would miss. Every conversion includes a summary report and audit trail.

Activation and Delivery

This is an electronic service delivered worldwide. After purchase, you receive a license key that registers against the FortiGate 1100E-DC serial number on the Fortinet support portal. Once activated, the FortiConverter service appears in FortiOS and is accessible through the cloud migration portal at support.fortinet.com. Delivery from DataCenter360.ca typically completes within 0 to 1 business days of confirmed payment.

The 1-year term begins from activation. For a one-time configuration migration project, the term is generally sufficient: upload source configurations, run the conversion, validate the output, and import. Additional conversions during the active term are also covered under the same service.

FortiConverter vs. Ongoing Protection Subscriptions

FortiConverter is a migration utility, not an active security service. It does not include UTM feeds, threat intelligence, SD-WAN, or support coverage. After migration, the FortiGate 1100E-DC needs a security subscription for active production protection:

• UTP (Unified Threat Protection, FC-10-F11DE-950-02-12): IPS, anti-malware, web filtering, application control, and email security
• Enterprise Protection (FC-10-F11DE-809-02-12): full UTM plus SD-WAN, CASB, ZTNA, and advanced threat protection
• FortiCare Premium (FC-10-F11DE-247-02-12): 24×7 TAC support with 1-hour critical-issue response

FortiConverter and a security subscription can be purchased separately or together as part of the same procurement.
