A FortiGate 2600F-DC running production traffic for a data center or large campus can’t sit on a next-business-day support queue when something breaks at 2 a.m. This SKU (FC-10-FD26F-284-02-36) puts the FortiGate 2600F-DC on FortiCare Elite for three years: the highest support tier Fortinet offers, with a 15-minute response commitment on critical issues and direct access to the engineers who know the platform best.
FortiCare Elite is Fortinet’s top per-device support tier. On the FortiGate 2600F-DC it delivers 24x7x365 technical support with a 15-minute response target for critical issues and a 2-business-hour target for non-critical ones, the fastest SLA in the FortiCare lineup. Elite also adds Standard RMA with advanced replacement, eligibility for the priority and secure RMA add-ons, full firmware updates and online support tools, and access to the FortiCare Elite Portal: a device-insights and monitoring dashboard (FortiGate-only) that surfaces health and security recommendations before they become tickets. Elite customers also get an 18-month Extended End-of-Engineering-Support window on selected long-term-supported releases, giving a high-end platform like the 2600F-DC extra runway between required upgrades.
This tier fits organizations where the 2600F-DC is doing real work: primary data center firewall, internet edge for a large campus, or a segmentation point that can’t tolerate a next-business-day fix. Teams choosing Elite over Premium are usually trading a faster SLA and the monitoring portal for peace of mind on a box that costs real money to have down. It’s the same logic that leads enterprises to buy Elite fleet-wide on their core firewalls while running Essential on lower-stakes branch gear.
This SKU is the Elite tier. Here’s how it compares to Premium and Essential FortiCare on the same platform:
| Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 1 hour | 15 minutes |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Hardware RMA | Return & Replace only | Standard (Advanced Replacement) | Standard (Advanced Replacement) |
| Priority RMA add-on eligible | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Firmware, online tools & asset management | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal | — | — | ✓ |
This is a subscription license, not a physical unit. Once the order clears, Fortinet issues the entitlement electronically and it registers against the 2600F-DC’s serial number through FortiCare, no shipping wait, no customs. DataCenter360.ca handles delivery worldwide since the license itself has no export restriction, unlike the appliance hardware. Renewal reminders go out ahead of the 3-year expiry so support doesn’t lapse silently.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner, and licensing orders like this one are handled the same way whether the buyer is renewing an existing 2600F-DC or attaching Elite support to a new deployment. Checkout is secure, the entitlement ships electronically within one business day, and support is backed by Fortinet directly, not a reseller working from a script.
A 15-minute response target on critical issues instead of 1 hour, access to the FortiCare Elite Portal for device insights and monitoring, and an 18-month Extended End-of-Engineering-Support window on supported releases. Both tiers include Standard RMA with advanced replacement and telephone support.
License only. FC-10-FD26F-284-02-36 is a 3-year FortiCare Elite support subscription for a FortiGate 2600F-DC that’s already deployed; it does not include the appliance.
Yes. FortiCare licensing is delivered electronically and is available worldwide, unlike FortiGate hardware, which DataCenter360.ca ships to Canada only.
Electronically. Fortinet issues the entitlement and it’s registered against the FortiGate 2600F-DC’s serial number in FortiCare, typically within 0 to 1 business day of order confirmation.
Support, RMA eligibility, and Elite Portal access stop until the license is renewed. Firmware already installed keeps running, but new support tickets and hardware replacement claims won’t be honored under the expired tier.
