Fortinet FortiGate 31G Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 3-Year (FC-10-GT31G-660-02-36)

Once you have decided Fortinet’s NOC should run your FortiGate 31G, renewing that arrangement every twelve months is just friction. The FortiGate 31G 3-Year Managed FortiGate Service (FC-10-GT31G-660-02-36) commits three years of managed operation in one order, with Fortinet engineers handling device setup and around-the-clock network and policy change management for the 31G. It is a managed service sold as a subscription, with no hardware and electronic delivery to any country.

What this service covers

Through the three-year term, the Managed FortiGate Service keeps the 31G in Fortinet’s hands for the routine operational work:

• Device setup and onboarding: NOC engineers establish a managed baseline and confirm the firewall is configured and reporting as it should.
• Network change management: routing, interfaces, VPN, and connectivity changes are made through a controlled request process by Fortinet staff.
• Policy change management: security rules are adjusted on your behalf and each change is documented, leaving a clean audit trail over the multi-year term.
• 24×7 availability: coverage runs around the clock, so an off-hours change or incident is handled without waiting for your business day.

Who needs it

The three-year term fits an organization that has standardized on the 31G for a branch or remote site and wants the management handled without an annual renewal to chase. It is a natural match for sites under a multi-year service agreement, where aligning the managed term with the contract keeps operations and billing on the same clock.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement is issued electronically and registered to a specific FortiGate 31G by serial number. NOC onboarding begins once the service is provisioned, and the three-year coverage window runs from activation. Nothing ships, and the firewall must be reachable so the NOC can manage it.

Operations, not a security subscription

This service governs how the 31G is run and changed, not the FortiGuard protection that blocks attacks. Intrusion prevention, antivirus, and web filtering live in the UTP or Enterprise subscription, and a managed device should run one of those so the NOC has full protection to operate. The combination keeps the firewall both managed and actively defended across the term.

Why the 3-year term

Three years brings the yearly cost down from the annual rate and clears two renewals off your calendar. For a 31G you already plan to keep in place for the medium term, it is the balanced choice between testing the service for a year and locking in the full five.
