Fortinet FortiGate 2601F DC ATP Bundle Renewal Subscription, 3-Year (FC-10-FD261-928-02-36)

Running a data center firewall at 25-plus Gbps of full threat-protection throughput means the security engine has to keep up with the traffic, not slow it down. The FC-10-FD261-928-02-36 keeps that engine current: it’s a 3-year Advanced Threat Protection subscription for the FortiGate 2601F-DC, covering IPS, Advanced Malware Protection, Application Control, and FortiCare Premium support under one license contract for 36 months. No appliance is included; this is a software activation for a 2601F-DC you already have or are ordering alongside it.

What this license covers

Four components activate on the 2601F-DC when this subscription is in place:

• IPS (Intrusion Prevention System): signature and behavior-based detection of known and emerging network attacks, leveraging live FortiGuard Labs intelligence, running at up to 31 Gbps on the 2601F-DC’s SPU-accelerated architecture.
• Advanced Malware Protection (AMP): antivirus engine plus cloud sandbox inspection for files and payloads transiting the firewall, catching threats that signature-only AV misses, including zero-day and polymorphic samples.
• Application Control: visibility and enforcement over thousands of applications crossing the network, independent of port or protocol, with per-application policy granularity and usage analytics.
• FortiCare Premium: Fortinet’s 24×7 support tier with 1-hour critical-issue response, firmware entitlement, access to FortiCare Portal tools, and advanced hardware replacement eligibility, bundled with the FortiGuard services so support and threat intelligence renew on the same schedule.

Is ATP the right tier?

ATP is the natural choice for data center edge deployments where the primary exposure is network intrusion and file-based malware, and where the firewall isn’t being used to inspect or filter outbound user web traffic. If DNS filtering, URL categorization, or anti-spam coverage for traffic traversing the 2601F-DC matters for the use case, UTP adds those services. Enterprise Protection goes further, adding AI-based inline malware prevention, DLP, and continuous attack surface scoring for teams that need the full FortiGuard stack.

Who buys this license

The 2601F-DC lives in carrier-grade data centers and telecom central offices that run -48V DC power distribution rather than AC, and its ATP subscription follows suit: this is a DC-infrastructure license for organizations doing core segmentation, 4G/5G security gateway work, or high-density IPsec aggregation at the DC edge. Typical buyers are teams where a previous ATP contract on a 2601F-DC is expiring, or security architects standing up a new DC that’s confirmed the 2601F-DC model and knows it needs IPS, AMP, and Application Control without the broader UTP/Enterprise overhead.

Activation & delivery

This subscription is electronic only, with no physical shipment. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca provisions the contract against the 2601F-DC’s serial number in FortiCare, and the appliance picks up entitlement on its next FortiGuard polling cycle, which typically completes in minutes. Delivery is worldwide: the only geographic restriction that applies to the 2601F-DC is on the hardware appliance itself, not the license.

Terms & renewal

The 36-month term starts from the activation date on the 2601F-DC’s FortiCare contract, not the purchase date. If you need a different contract length, the same ATP services are available as a 1-year (FC-10-FD261-928-02-12) or 5-year (FC-10-FD261-928-02-60) subscription. Renewals at any term can be stacked before the current contract lapses to extend coverage without a gap in FortiGuard updates or FortiCare support.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca stocks all three ATP term lengths and both the UTP and Enterprise tiers for the 2601F-DC as separate line items, so you can match the license scope to the actual traffic profile and budget cycle without being pushed into a bundle that’s larger than the deployment needs. Orders are processed as a Fortinet Select Partner, with electronic delivery typically confirmed within one business day. If you’re sizing licenses for a new DC build or staggering renewals across multiple 2601F-DC units, our team can work through the FortiCare contract structure before you finalize the order.
