Fortinet FortiGate 1800F-DC Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 1-Year (FC-10-D18HF-660-02-12)

Running a FortiGate 1800F-DC without a dedicated NOC team on staff is the norm for a lot of enterprises that bought high-end hardware precisely because it’s fast, not because they wanted to hire firewall specialists. FC-10-D18HF-660-02-12 covers that gap for one year: Fortinet’s own NOC engineers take over day-to-day device setup, network configuration, and ongoing policy change management for the 1800F-DC, available around the clock.

What the Managed FortiGate Service covers

This is Fortinet’s à-la-carte Managed FortiGate Service (internally tracked under service code 660), not a bundle line item. It puts certified Fortinet NOC staff on the device itself: initial configuration and setup, ongoing network changes, and policy updates as your environment evolves, 24×7. The 1800F-DC already delivers 22 Gbps of IPS throughput and up to 198 Gbps of firewall throughput in its class, so the value here isn’t the appliance, it’s making sure that horsepower stays correctly configured without pulling your own network engineers off other priorities.

Who needs this

This subscription fits organizations that either don’t have in-house Fortinet-certified staff, or have them but want a second set of expert hands watching change management on a firewall this central to the network. Data centers, MSPs managing a 1800F-DC on behalf of a client, and enterprises mid-migration onto new policy sets are the most common buyers. It’s an operations service, not a security-feed subscription, so it complements FortiGuard security services rather than replacing them.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-D18HF-660-02-12 is a pure software/service subscription with no hardware attached. DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key electronically, typically within one business day of order confirmation, and it activates against the FortiGate 1800F-DC’s existing serial number. There’s nothing to ship and no waiting on customs; the NOC engagement itself starts once the license is applied and your team completes a short onboarding call to define scope.

One service vs. the bundle

Managed FortiGate Service is intentionally narrow: it’s operational hands-on-keyboard support, not a security content bundle. If you also need the FortiGuard threat feeds (IPS, antivirus, web filtering, and the rest), those live in the UTP or Enterprise subscription lines for the 1800F-DC, sold separately. Plenty of customers run this NOC service alongside a UTP subscription rather than instead of one; each solves a different problem, and stacking them is normal, not redundant.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

We’re a Fortinet Select Partner, so this listing is a genuine Fortinet subscription line, not a gray-market repackage. Checkout is electronic end to end: place the order, get your license key by email, and apply it against the 1800F-DC yourself or have your Fortinet reseller contact confirm activation. Since this is a service subscription rather than physical hardware, it ships to any country worldwide, no Canada-only restriction applies here.
