Fortinet FortiGate 2500E Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 3-Year (FC-10-02K5E-660-02-36)

Three years is long enough to matter and short enough to stay flexible, which is exactly the middle ground the FortiGate 2500E 3-Year Managed FortiGate Service (FC-10-02K5E-660-02-36) is built for. It hands the day-to-day operation of a 2500E deployment to Fortinet’s own network operations center, staffed 24×7, for a three-year term. It is a subscription license only, with no hardware included, delivered electronically to any country.

What this service covers

The Managed FortiGate Service puts Fortinet’s NOC to work on your 2500E so routine changes do not sit on your own team’s queue:

• Device setup and onboarding: NOC engineers bring the firewall into a managed state, establish a baseline configuration, and confirm it is reporting in correctly.
• Network change management: routing, interfaces, VPN, and connectivity changes are carried out by Fortinet staff through a controlled request process rather than ad hoc edits.
• Policy change management: firewall rules and security policy are adjusted for you, with each change documented so there is a clear record of what moved and when.
• 24×7 coverage: the service is staffed around the clock, so a change or an incident outside business hours does not have to wait for your team’s next shift.

Who needs it

This subscription suits a team running a FortiGate 2500E at a data center edge or campus core that wants NOC-driven operations for a defined period, whether that is aligning the service to a hardware refresh cycle, a budget cycle, or a project with a known lifespan. It also fits an MSP or enterprise that wants documented, consistent change management without committing to the full five-year window.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement is issued electronically and registered to a specific FortiGate 2500E by serial number. Onboarding with the NOC begins once the service is provisioned, and the three-year coverage window runs from activation. Nothing ships, and the firewall needs to be in service and reachable so the NOC can manage it.

Terms and renewal

The Managed FortiGate Service is also sold in 1-year and 5-year terms on the 2500E. The 3-year term costs less per year than the 1-year option and avoids an annual renewal cycle, while the 5-year term pushes the per-year cost lower still if the device is expected to stay in place that long. Whichever term is chosen, coverage does not renew on its own; DataCenter360.ca can process the renewal under the same SKU pattern when the term is up.

Operations, not a security subscription

The Managed FortiGate Service governs how the 2500E is configured and changed, not the FortiGuard threat intelligence that blocks attacks. Intrusion prevention, antivirus, and web filtering live in the UTP or Enterprise bundle, and most managed 2500E deployments run one of those alongside this service so the NOC has a fully protected device to operate.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca
