Fortinet FortiGate 60E-DSLJ FortiConverter Service, 1-Year (FC-10-FG60J-189-02-12)

The risky part of a firewall swap is the rulebase. Years of policies, objects, and NAT rules rarely transfer cleanly, and a missed line can open a hole or break an application. FC-10-FG60J-189-02-12 takes that work off your plate: it is a 1-year FortiConverter entitlement for one guided configuration conversion onto the FortiGate 60E-DSLJ.

What this service covers

FortiConverter handles a structured migration of an existing configuration, from a third-party firewall or an older Fortinet unit, into FortiOS on the 60E-DSLJ. Policies, address and service objects, and NAT rules are translated and mapped so the new device starts from your real ruleset instead of a blank slate. The entitlement covers the conversion process rather than a recurring security feature.

Who needs it

This is for anyone standing up a 60E-DSLJ as a replacement and wanting the cutover to be predictable: a managed service provider onboarding a client, or an IT team retiring an aging appliance. It is most worthwhile when the existing policy set is large or complex enough that rebuilding it by hand would be slow and error-prone.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement arrives electronically, usually within one business day, and is registered in FortiCloud. Because FortiConverter is a one-time conversion service rather than an always-on subscription, plan to use it during the migration window. No hardware ships.

A migration aid, not ongoing protection

FortiConverter gets the configuration onto the box; it does not keep the box defended afterward. Once the 60E-DSLJ is live, a UTP or Enterprise subscription turns on the active security services, and FortiCare Premium adds support and faster hardware replacement. Those are separate lines on the same unit and easy to add in one order.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca, an authorized Fortinet Select Partner, supplies this service worldwide by electronic delivery. Since the 60E-DSLJ is a prior-generation model, it is worth deciding up front whether to convert onto it or onto a current FortiGate 70G, as the migration effort is similar either way.
