Fortinet FortiGate 2601F DC Managed FortiGate Service 24×7 Subscription, 5-Year (FC-10-FD261-660-02-60)

When your data center demands constant uptime, managing a FortiGate 2601F-DC manually around the clock is unrealistic for most teams. FC-10-FD261-660-02-60 is the 5-Year Fortinet NOC Managed FortiGate Service for this appliance, placing Fortinet’s own network operations experts in charge of your device configuration, policy changes, and network change requests on a 24×7 basis.

What the NOC Managed Service covers

Fortinet’s Network Operations Center (NOC) team manages the FortiGate 2601F-DC on your behalf, handling the tasks that typically consume the most operational time:

• Device setup and initial configuration — onboarding and baseline configuration by certified Fortinet engineers
• Network change management — interface changes, routing updates, and topology modifications submitted and tracked through Fortinet’s ticketing workflow
• Policy change management — firewall rule additions, modifications, and deletions executed by the NOC team
• 24×7 coverage — always-on service with no after-hours gaps or surcharges

Who needs this service

The FortiGate 2601F-DC is a carrier-grade data center firewall built for high-throughput environments with DC power infrastructure. Organizations that run it include large enterprise data centers, colocation providers, and managed service providers hosting infrastructure for multiple clients. Those environments typically carry a heavy operational load, and the NOC Managed Service offloads routine change management to Fortinet specialists, freeing internal staff for higher-priority projects.

It also fits organizations with compliance requirements that call for vendor-managed change documentation, since every NOC-executed change is logged through Fortinet’s support systems and traceable for audits.

Activation and electronic delivery

This is an electronic subscription. After purchase, Fortinet issues a contract entitlement linked to your FortiGate 2601F-DC serial number. Activation and setup coordination happens through Fortinet’s support portal. No physical shipment — the service is activated entirely online. The subscription has no geographic restriction and is fulfilled electronically to buyers worldwide.

NOC Managed Service vs FortiCare support

FortiCare (Essential, Premium, or Elite) gives your team access to Fortinet technical support when issues arise. The NOC Managed Service is different in scope: Fortinet’s team is the operator, not just the advisor. Routine changes — new firewall policies, routing updates, interface reconfigurations — are submitted as requests and executed by Fortinet NOC engineers rather than your internal staff. Many data center operators run both: FortiCare for break-fix incidents and the NOC service for ongoing change management.

Term options and renewal

FC-10-FD261-660-02-60 covers 5 years (60 months) of managed service. Shorter terms are available: 1-year (FC-10-FD261-660-02-12) and 3-year (FC-10-FD261-660-02-36) at proportionally adjusted pricing. Renewing before expiry avoids any lapse in NOC coverage. DataCenter360.ca can quote renewals, co-termination alongside other licenses on the same device, or mid-term adjustments.
