Fortinet FortiGate 1800F-DC Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 3-Year (FC-10-D18HF-660-02-36)

A FortiGate-1800F-DC running at the edge of a datacenter or telco cage still needs someone watching the console at 2 a.m. The FC-10-D18HF-660-02-36 subscription hands that job to Fortinet directly: for three years, Fortinet’s own Network Operations Center takes on device setup, policy changes, and routine network administration for your FortiGate-1800F-DC, so your team isn’t the one paged for a rule change at midnight.

What this service covers

This is Fortinet’s Managed FortiGate Service, sometimes shorthanded as “NOC,” billed as an à-la-carte add-on rather than bundled into UTP or Enterprise. Fortinet NOC engineers, not a third-party reseller, perform initial device configuration, ongoing firewall policy changes, VPN and routing adjustments, and general network administration tasks against your FortiGate-1800F-DC. Coverage runs 24×7 for the full three-year term, and the service activates against the specific unit’s serial number once the license is applied through FortiCloud.

Who this is for

The DC power variant of the 1800F usually lands in telco central offices, colocation facilities, or datacenters running -48V DC plants instead of standard AC. Teams running that kind of infrastructure are often thin on in-house firewall specialists, or they’d rather keep headcount on application and infrastructure work than on day-to-day FortiGate administration. This service fits IT and network teams who want change management handled by the vendor that built the box, with an audit trail of who touched what and when.

Activation and delivery

Delivery is 100% electronic: no hardware ships with this SKU. Once ordered, DataCenter360.ca issues the license key for activation against the registered FortiGate-1800F-DC serial number in the FortiCloud/FortiCare portal, typically within 0-1 business days. Because it’s a license, not a physical product, it ships the same way anywhere in the world, not just Canada.

Managed NOC service vs. self-managed with a bundle

An Enterprise or UTP bundle on the 1800F-DC keeps your team in the driver’s seat: your engineers write the policies, Fortinet’s cloud services (sandboxing, AI-based inline malware prevention, SD-WAN, and the rest) do the heavy lifting behind the scenes. This NOC add-on is a different axis entirely, it’s about who operates the box day to day, not which security engines run on it. Plenty of customers run both: an Enterprise subscription for full UTM coverage, plus this NOC service so Fortinet’s own staff execute the change requests. If your team wants to keep hands-on control instead, look at the 1800F-DC’s Enterprise or UTP subscription lines, or FortiGate Cloud (FC-10-D18HF-131-02-36) for cloud-based management and log retention without handing over day-to-day operations.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca processes this as a straight license order: no shipping wait, no customs paperwork, just a confirmed purchase and an activation key tied to your FortiGate-1800F-DC’s serial number. As a Fortinet Select Partner, we can also help line up the RMA, FortiCare, or FortiCloud coverage that pairs with a managed device, so the whole support picture is consistent instead of pieced together from separate vendors.
