Fortinet FortiGate 2601F DC Managed FortiGate Service 24×7 Subscription, 1-Year (FC-10-FD261-660-02-12)

The FortiGate 2601F-DC is one of Fortinet’s highest-performance data center firewalls, capable of 198 Gbps firewall throughput with NP7 hardware acceleration. Adding the NOC Managed Service (FC-10-FD261-660-02-12) shifts ongoing device management to Fortinet’s own Network Operations Center, so your team focuses on strategy while certified Fortinet engineers handle the daily operational work.

What the NOC Managed Service Covers

The Managed FortiGate Service gives you 24×7 access to Fortinet NOC professionals who take responsibility for three core operational areas:

• Device setup and initial configuration — base policy setup, interface configuration, and FortiOS hardening aligned to Fortinet best practices.
• Network change management — routing updates, VLAN changes, and topology adjustments handled with documented change control.
• Policy change management — firewall rule additions, modifications, and removals processed by engineers who know FortiOS inside out, reducing the risk of misconfiguration.

This 1-year term (FC-10-FD261-660-02-12) gives you a 12-month engagement at a fixed cost, with renewals available at the 3-year and 5-year terms for better per-year value.

Who Needs This Service

The NOC Managed Service is designed for organizations running a high-throughput data center edge that lack in-house FortiOS expertise to keep pace with the operational demands of the 2601F-DC. It suits three buyer profiles:

• Teams that deployed the 2601F-DC for its DC power and port density but need Fortinet engineers managing the policies.
• Enterprises with a lean security team that can set direction but cannot dedicate a resource to ongoing FortiOS change management.
• Managed service providers who augment their offering with Fortinet’s certified NOC capability.

Activation and Electronic Delivery

This is a software subscription with no hardware component. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca processes your order and delivers the license key and activation instructions electronically, typically within 0–1 business days. You activate through the Fortinet support portal and the NOC team engages from there. Delivery is worldwide with no geographic restrictions on this subscription.

NOC Service vs. In-House Management

Running a 2601F-DC in-house means someone on your staff owns every change ticket, every firmware cycle, and every compliance question about rule logic. The NOC Managed Service transfers that operational burden to Fortinet’s certified engineers. You retain ownership of your security policies and set the business requirements; Fortinet’s NOC implements them. For proactive threat monitoring and incident triage rather than just operational management, the FortiGuard SOCaaS service is a complementary option for the same platform.
