Fortinet FortiGate 70G-PoE FortiCare Premium Support, 1-Year (FC-10-G70GP-247-02-12)

Annual FortiCare renewals are a routine part of managing FortiGate deployments on yearly procurement budgets, and the one-year term is also the natural choice when picking up FortiCare coverage at the point of a new hardware purchase. FC-10-G70GP-247-02-12 covers the FortiGate 70G-PoE for 12 months with FortiCare Premium: 24×7 Fortinet TAC access, a two-hour critical-issue SLA, and next-business-day hardware replacement.

What FortiCare Premium Covers

This is the FortiCare Premium tier for the FortiGate 70G-PoE. The comparison below shows how it stacks up against Essential and Elite across the service features that matter most in production deployments.

Who Needs This Coverage

The FortiGate 70G-PoE pairs the FortiSP5 security processor (4.5 Gbps firewall, 2.5 Gbps IPS) with 802.3at PoE+ ports that supply power to access points, IP phones, and cameras directly from the appliance. When that unit goes down, both network security and powered infrastructure at the site are affected. FortiCare Premium keeps Fortinet TAC on call at every hour of the year, with a clear response commitment on critical cases and a next-business-day RMA path when the hardware itself needs replacing.

For teams evaluating whether to commit to a multi-year term or renew annually, the one-year option preserves flexibility while keeping coverage current. It is also the practical choice when the hardware is approaching the end of its service life and a longer-term commitment does not make sense.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-G70GP-247-02-12 is delivered electronically. The registration key arrives by email after order confirmation; DataCenter360.ca typically fulfills the same business day. Activation is done through the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) by linking the contract to the FortiGate 70G-PoE serial number. The 12-month term starts on the activation date.

This is a worldwide license. The covered appliance can be installed in any country, and the FortiCare support is global. Renewing before the current term expires queues the new period from the existing expiry date, preserving continuity.

FortiCare Premium vs. a Bundle Subscription

FC-10-G70GP-247-02-12 covers hardware support only. TAC access, RMA replacement, and firmware rights are included; FortiGuard security services are not. Organizations that need IPS updates, URL filtering, DNS filtering, and antivirus alongside FortiCare should look at the one-year UTP or Enterprise bundle for the FG-70G-POE, which combines both in a single SKU. Standalone FortiCare is the right call when FortiGuard is already running under a separate contract, or when the only gap is hardware support entitlement.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca carries the complete FortiGate 70G-PoE licensing catalog, from 1-year Essential through 5-year Elite, alongside the hardware units and bundle subscriptions. The one-year term is straightforward: one key, one contract number, one renewal date to track. FC-10-G70GP-247-02-12 is available for immediate order with electronic delivery typically completing the same business day. Organizations that prefer locking in coverage for multiple years can find the 3-year and 5-year FortiCare Premium SKUs in the same catalog.
