Fortinet FortiGate 70G-PoE FortiCare Premium Support, 3-Year (FC-10-G70GP-247-02-36)

Three-year support commitments align well with how mid-market organizations plan network infrastructure spending. Rather than revisiting the FortiCare renewal decision annually, a single procurement covers the FortiGate 70G-PoE for a full budget cycle. FC-10-G70GP-247-02-36 is that subscription: 24×7 Fortinet TAC access, a two-hour critical-issue response SLA, and next-business-day hardware replacement across the full three-year term.

What FortiCare Premium Covers

This is the FortiCare Premium tier for the FortiGate 70G-PoE. The table below shows how it compares to Essential and Elite on the service dimensions that affect day-to-day operations.

Who Needs This Coverage

The FortiGate 70G-PoE runs on the FortiSP5 security processor, delivering 4.5 Gbps firewall throughput and 2.5 Gbps IPS, with 802.3at PoE+ ports that power connected devices directly from the appliance. Sites that rely on the 70G-PoE for both network security and powered device infrastructure have a single-point dependency: a hardware failure affects security policy enforcement and everything drawing PoE at the same time. FortiCare Premium’s 24×7 TAC and two-hour critical SLA are well-matched to that risk profile, and the next-business-day RMA keeps replacement hardware moving without waiting on standard logistics.

A three-year term also removes the annual renewal decision from the support calendar. Contracts that require year-to-year approval can lapse through oversight. Buying three years in one transaction closes that gap for the coverage period.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-G70GP-247-02-36 is a software entitlement delivered electronically. The registration key arrives by email after order confirmation, and DataCenter360.ca typically fulfills the same business day. Activation is completed at the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) by associating the key with the FortiGate 70G-PoE serial number. The three-year term starts on the activation date, not the order date.

This license is worldwide. The appliance can be installed anywhere, and Fortinet TAC is global. If FortiCare coverage is already active on the unit, the new term queues from the current expiry date so no existing days are lost.

FortiCare Premium vs. a Bundle Subscription

FC-10-G70GP-247-02-36 is a hardware support contract. It covers TAC access, RMA replacement, and firmware rights. FortiGuard security services, including IPS updates, URL filtering, DNS filtering, antivirus, and application control, are not included. If the deployment needs both, the three-year UTP or Enterprise bundle for the FG-70G-POE is the right product. Standalone FortiCare Premium is the correct option when FortiGuard is already active under a separate contract, or when hardware support entitlement is the specific gap being addressed.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca carries the FortiGate 70G-PoE FortiCare range in all terms, alongside the hardware and bundle subscriptions. Sourcing the three-year FortiCare contract through the same account that holds the appliance purchase record keeps support history and procurement documentation in one place. FC-10-G70GP-247-02-36 is in stock and available for immediate order, with electronic fulfillment typically completing the same business day.
