Fortinet FortiGate 601E Secure RMA Service, 5-Year (FC-10-F6H1E-301-02-60)

In regulated environments, shipping a failed firewall back to the vendor is not allowed, because the storage inside it may hold sensitive data. Secure RMA (FC-10-F6H1E-301-02-60) solves that: when a FortiGate 601E is replaced under warranty, you keep the defective unit and dispose of it under your own controls. This entitlement covers five years of that protection.

What Secure RMA covers

Secure RMA is a Priority RMA add-on for the FortiGate 601E. Under a standard advance-replacement RMA, Fortinet ships a replacement and the failed appliance goes back. Secure RMA removes that return requirement: the customer retains the defective hardware, so any data resident on it never leaves the premises. It is designed for organizations with strict data-handling rules, such as government, finance, healthcare and defence. Secure RMA sits on top of an underlying FortiCare Premium or Elite contract, which provides the advance-replacement logistics and technical support the add-on depends on.

Secure RMA layers onto FortiCare Premium or Elite, which is where the advance-replacement RMA and priority support come from. Here is how the base per-device support tiers compare on the FortiGate 601E:

Who this is for

This service is for any FortiGate 601E deployed where returning failed hardware is prohibited or risky: environments bound by data-residency, chain-of-custody or classified-handling rules. If your site has no such constraint, standard RMA within FortiCare Premium is usually sufficient.
