Fortinet FortiGate 31G Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 5-Year (FC-10-GT31G-660-02-60)

For a FortiGate 31G you intend to run for its full service life, the cleanest arrangement is to let Fortinet manage it from day one to retirement without a single renewal in between. The FortiGate 31G 5-Year Managed FortiGate Service (FC-10-GT31G-660-02-60) does exactly that, with NOC engineers handling device setup and 24×7 network and policy change management for the whole five years. It is a managed service sold as a subscription, with no hardware and electronic delivery to any country.

What this service covers

Over the five-year term, the Managed FortiGate Service carries the operational load of the 31G so your team does not have to:

• Device setup and onboarding: NOC engineers bring the firewall to a managed baseline and confirm it is configured and reporting correctly.
• Network change management: routing, interfaces, VPN, and connectivity changes run through a controlled request process handled by Fortinet staff.
• Policy change management: security rules are updated on your behalf with every change documented, building a complete record across the long term.
• 24×7 availability: the service is staffed around the clock, so changes and incidents are handled at any hour without waiting for the next business day.

Who needs it

The five-year term suits an organization deploying the 31G as a long-term fixture, a permanent branch firewall or a remote site it does not plan to revisit for a refresh soon. Handing the routine config and policy work to Fortinet for the device’s working life keeps the burden off internal staff and holds the cost per year at its lowest.

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 five-year coverage window runs from activation. Nothing ships, and the firewall must stay reachable so the NOC can manage it.

Operations, not a security subscription

The managed service governs how the 31G is run and changed; it is not the FortiGuard protection that blocks attacks. That protection, the intrusion prevention, antivirus, and web filtering, comes from the UTP or Enterprise subscription. Running a multi-year security bundle alongside this five-year managed term keeps the firewall both expertly operated and actively defended for as long as it is in service.

Why the 5-year term

Five years is the longest standard term and the best value per year, and it matches the typical lifespan of a small firewall. The managed coverage and the appliance retire together, with no renewal cycles to track in between. For a set-and-forget deployment, that hands-off continuity is the point.
