Fortinet FortiGate 1801F Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 3-Year (FC-10-F18F1-660-02-36)

Running a FortiGate-1801F without dedicated network staff on call is common, especially once the firewall is sitting in front of production traffic 24/7. The FC-10-F18F1-660-02-36 is Fortinet’s own answer to that gap: a 3-year Managed FortiGate Service that puts Fortinet’s NOC engineers directly on the device for setup, ongoing network changes, and policy management, so the appliance stays configured correctly without pulling your own team off other work.

What this service covers

This is the NOC (Network Operations Center) managed service for the FortiGate-1801F, available 24×7. Fortinet’s own engineers, not a third-party reseller, handle:

• Initial device setup and baseline configuration
• Ongoing network configuration changes as your environment evolves
• Security policy change management (firewall rules, VPN, routing adjustments)
• Continuous operational oversight of the FortiGate-1801F, backed by Fortinet’s NOC team around the clock

It is an à-la-carte NOC/SOC service line, sold independently of the FortiGuard security bundles (Enterprise Protection, Unified Threat Protection, Advanced Threat Protection). It does not appear inside any of those bundles, so a FortiGate-1801F running UTP or Enterprise still needs this SKU separately if you want Fortinet’s team doing the hands-on device management.

Who needs this

Teams that lean on this service typically fall into one of two groups: organizations without in-house Fortinet-certified engineers who still need enterprise-grade firewall management, and IT teams stretched thin across multiple sites who want Fortinet’s NOC to absorb routine change requests so internal staff can focus on higher-priority projects. Given the FG-1801F’s role as a high-throughput data center firewall (22 Gbps IPS, 17 Gbps NGFW, dual onboard 960GB NVMe SSDs for logging and storage), it is usually deployed somewhere that downtime or a misconfigured policy has real business cost, which is exactly where a managed NOC service earns its keep.

Activation & delivery

This is a license SKU, not a physical shipment. Delivery is electronic: once the order is processed, the service is applied against the FortiGate-1801F’s registered serial number in the Fortinet portal and Fortinet’s NOC team is looped in to begin managing the device. Because activation ties to the unit’s serial number rather than a shipping address, DataCenter360.ca can deliver and activate this service for FortiGate-1801F deployments anywhere in the world, not just Canada.

3-year term vs. other options

The 3-year term (this SKU) locks in NOC coverage for the mid-length window most enterprises budget around, avoiding the annual renewal admin of a 1-year term while staying more flexible than a 5-year commitment. If your renewal cycle or budgeting calendar runs differently, the same Managed FortiGate Service is also available in 1-year and 5-year terms for the FortiGate-1801F. If you’re weighing this against a broader support posture, it’s worth pairing this NOC service with a FortiCare support tier and, if hardware failure risk is a concern, an RMA service like the Secure RMA option for the FG-1801F.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner, and this NOC service is stocked and ready for immediate electronic delivery once ordered. Because it is licensing rather than hardware, there is nothing to ship: your order confirms, the service gets applied to your FortiGate-1801F’s serial number, and Fortinet’s NOC team can begin work. If you already have an FG-1801F deployed and just need the operational support layer added, this is the direct path to it.
