Fortinet FortiGate 50E FortiGuard SD-WAN Underlay Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0050E-288-02-12)

SD-WAN is only as good as what it knows about each WAN link, and passive measurements miss the slow degradation that makes a voice call break up before a link ever fails. FC-10-0050E-288-02-12 is the FortiGuard SD-WAN Underlay Bandwidth and Quality Monitoring Service for the FortiGate 50E. It actively measures the real bandwidth and quality of the 50E’s underlay connections so the firewall steers traffic onto the link that is genuinely performing. It is a one-year subscription for one 50E, delivered electronically, with no hardware shipped.

What it covers

The service runs active measurements against the 50E’s internet underlays and reports back true available bandwidth along with latency, jitter, and packet-loss quality. SD-WAN policies then make path decisions on measured conditions rather than guesses, which keeps latency-sensitive traffic like voice and video on the healthy link. It also gives you a record of how each ISP circuit is actually performing against what you are paying for.

Who needs it

Any 50E running dual-WAN or relying on a mix of broadband and a backup link benefits. It matters most where a site depends on real-time applications and a brownout, not a hard outage, is the failure that hurts. It is also a useful tool when you need evidence to take an underperforming circuit back to the provider.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement registers to your FortiGate 50E in the Fortinet support portal and activates electronically. There is nothing to ship and delivery is identical worldwide, so the monitoring can be turned on the same day you buy.

Keeping a legacy 50E covered

The 50E is a previous-generation desktop FortiGate. This service keeps SD-WAN decisions accurate on a unit that is still earning its place. If you are planning a refresh, the same capability is available on current-generation models such as the FortiGate 50G or 70G, and we can quote a successor next to this renewal so your SD-WAN design carries over.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

As a Fortinet Select Partner, DataCenter360.ca registers this subscription through Fortinet’s authorized channel and ties it to your 50E rather than handing over a loose key. It pairs naturally with a UTP or Enterprise bundle that secures the same traffic it is steering, and both bundles are in the related items. Tell us how the 50E’s WAN links are set up and we will confirm this service fits your SD-WAN plan before you order.
