Fortinet FortiGate 70G-PoE FortiCare Premium Support, 5-Year (FC-10-G70GP-247-02-60)

PoE-capable firewalls tend to stay in place longer than standard models. Once the FortiGate 70G-PoE is consolidating power for access points, IP phones, or cameras alongside handling network security, pulling the unit for an upgrade becomes a bigger project. FC-10-G70GP-247-02-60 is the five-year FortiCare Premium subscription sized to match that deployment reality: 24×7 TAC access, a two-hour critical-issue response SLA, and next-business-day hardware replacement across the full five-year term.

What FortiCare Premium Covers

This is the FortiCare Premium tier for the FortiGate 70G-PoE. The table below shows how Premium compares to Essential and Elite.

Who Needs This Coverage

The FortiGate 70G-PoE combines 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. Deployments that consolidate firewall and PoE budget onto a single unit are accepting a dependency: if the appliance fails, both security and powered devices go down at the same time. FortiCare Premium’s 24×7 support and two-hour critical SLA are well-matched to that risk profile.

A five-year term also simplifies budget planning. Rather than revisiting support costs annually, the coverage is set for the expected hardware lifecycle in a single procurement decision.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-G70GP-247-02-60 is delivered electronically. The registration key is emailed after order confirmation — DataCenter360.ca typically fulfills the same business day. Activation is completed through the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) by linking the contract to the FortiGate 70G-PoE serial number. The five-year term starts on the activation date.

This license has no geographic restrictions. The appliance can be deployed anywhere, and Fortinet TAC operates globally. If you are renewing coverage on an active unit, the new term stacks from the current expiry date.

FortiCare Premium vs. a Bundle Subscription

FC-10-G70GP-247-02-60 is a hardware support contract only. It does not include FortiGuard security services — no IPS updates, URL filtering, DNS filtering, antivirus, or application control. Organizations that need both FortiGuard feeds and FortiCare coverage should look at the UTP or Enterprise 5-year bundle subscriptions for the FG-70G-PoE, which combine both in a single SKU. Standalone FortiCare is the right option when support entitlement is the specific gap — for instance, when FortiGuard services are current under a separate contract and only the FortiCare term is expiring.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner in Canada and carries the complete FortiGate 70G-PoE licensing catalog. FC-10-G70GP-247-02-60 is available for immediate order with electronic delivery — the activation key arrives by email, typically the same business day. Buying a five-year term in a single transaction means one contract number, one expiry to track, and no renewal overhead for five years. That simplicity has real value in organizations where IT administration time is a limited resource.
