Fortinet FortiGate 2601F Managed FortiGate Service 24×7 Subscription, 5-Year (FC-10-F26F1-660-02-60)

Running a FortiGate 2601F at the edge of a high-capacity data center or campus network demands constant tuning: policy updates, security baseline adjustments, and configuration changes that can’t wait for a ticket queue. The FC-10-F26F1-660-02-60 packages five years of Fortinet’s own NOC team as a dedicated FortiGate management layer, available around the clock, every day of the year.

What the Managed FortiGate Service Covers

Service code 660 activates Fortinet’s Managed FortiGate service on the FortiGate 2601F appliance. Fortinet NOC engineers take ownership of the following tasks for the full five-year subscription term:

• Device setup and initial configuration — Fortinet NOC handles baseline provisioning of the 2601F, including interface assignments, routing, and initial security policy framework.
• Network change management — routing updates, VLAN changes, and topology adjustments are executed by NOC staff on request, reducing change-window risk.
• Policy change management — firewall policy additions, modifications, and cleanups performed by certified Fortinet engineers who know FortiOS natively.
• 24×7 availability — changes and escalations can be submitted at any hour; no on-call rotation required on your side.

Who Needs This Service

The FortiGate 2601F sits in the mid-to-high range of Fortinet’s campus and data center firewall line. Organizations running appliances at this tier typically have complex multi-segment networks, strict change-control requirements, and limited in-house FortiOS expertise. This service is a strong fit for:

• Enterprises with dedicated NOC offload strategies where firewall operations are handled externally.
• Managed service providers that deliver Fortinet firewall management to clients under a vendor-backed service model.
• Compliance-driven environments where policy changes must be executed by a Fortinet-certified team and documented accordingly.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F26F1-660-02-60 is an electronic subscription license. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation details to the email on your order, typically within the same business day. You register the service key in your FortiCare account, then open a service request with Fortinet NOC to begin onboarding. No physical hardware ships with this SKU.

Managed Service vs. a Security Bundle

The NOC (660) service is distinct from FortiGuard security bundles such as UTP or Enterprise. Bundles cover threat intelligence feeds: IPS, antivirus, web filtering, sandboxing. The Managed FortiGate service covers operational management of the appliance itself — what Fortinet engineers do, not what signatures protect. The two are complementary. Many organizations pair the 660 NOC service with an Enterprise or UTP subscription bundle on the same FortiGate 2601F, covering both operational management and security intelligence in one device.
