Fortinet FortiGate 901G FortiCare Elite Support, 1-Year (FC-10-FG9H1-284-02-12)

FC-10-FG9H1-284-02-12 covers the FortiGate 901G with a full year of FortiCare Elite: a 15-minute Severity-1 response window, a named Technical Account Manager, same-day priority RMA dispatch, and access to the Elite monitoring portal. It’s the lowest-friction entry point to top-tier Fortinet support for teams that want to evaluate Elite performance before committing to a multi-year term, or for organizations running annual procurement cycles.

What FortiCare Elite Provides for One Year

This 1-year subscription delivers Elite-tier coverage to the FortiGate 901G for 12 months:

• 15-minute Sev-1 response SLA through Fortinet TAC
• Named Technical Account Manager assigned to your 901G case history
• Priority advance hardware replacement with same-day dispatch authorization
• Elite monitoring portal access for proactive appliance health visibility
• Extended LTS firmware branch access throughout the term
• 24×7 telephone and web-case support

FortiCare Tier Comparison

This product delivers Elite tier coverage. The table below shows how Essential, Premium, and Elite compare on the FortiGate 901G platform.

Who Buys the 1-Year Term

Teams that want to confirm Elite SLAs in practice before committing to a 3- or 5-year agreement. Organizations with annual budget cycles where multi-year licensing isn’t approved in one pass. Units approaching a hardware refresh decision where a 1-year bridge avoids overcommitting. In each case, the 1-year term provides full Elite coverage on identical terms to the longer options; only the duration differs.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-FG9H1-284-02-12 is a software subscription delivered electronically within 0–1 business days. The license key registers in Fortinet’s support portal against the 901G’s serial number. The 12-month term begins on the registration date; registering a few days after purchase does not reduce coverage.

Cost vs. Multi-Year Options

On a per-year basis, the 1-year term costs more than the 3-year (FC-10-FG9H1-284-02-36) or 5-year (FC-10-FG9H1-284-02-60) alternatives. If budget allows a longer commitment and the 901G is not near end of planned life, the multi-year options deliver the same Elite coverage at a lower annualized price. Renewals can be arranged through DataCenter360.ca at any point during the current term.
