Fortinet FortiGate 901G FortiCare Premium Support, 1-Year (FC-10-FG9H1-247-02-12)

A 1-year FortiCare Premium term is the right starting point when the 901G is entering service for the first time, when an existing support contract has lapsed and needs to be restarted, or when the hardware sits in an environment where annual budget approval is the norm. It delivers full Premium-tier coverage — 24×7 TAC, 1-hour Sev-1 response, advance replacement — without requiring a multi-year commitment on day one.

What This License Covers

FortiCare Premium is positioned between the entry-level Essential and the carrier-grade Elite in Fortinet’s three-tier support programme. For the FortiGate 901G — which combines 26 Gbps IPS throughput with 2x 480 GB on-appliance SSDs for log retention — the Premium tier ensures that both the inspection engine and the storage-backed logging remain supported throughout the term. The table compares all three tiers.

Who Needs This Subscription

Any organization running the FortiGate 901G in a production role where an unplanned outage has a measurable impact. A 1-year term specifically fits teams on annual budget cycles, deployments mid-way through an existing hardware lifecycle where a longer term would overshoot the refresh date, and scenarios where FortiCare coverage lapsed and needs to be reinstated quickly. The 1-year term can always be followed by a multi-year renewal once the operational pattern is established.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the registration key electronically after order confirmation, typically within one business day. Register it in the Fortinet Support Portal at support.fortinet.com against the FortiGate 901G serial number. Coverage begins on the activation date. There is no physical shipment — the key reaches you regardless of location.

FortiCare Premium vs. the Full Bundle

FortiCare Premium covers TAC access, firmware updates, and advance hardware replacement. It does not include FortiGuard threat feeds. If the 901G’s inspection engine also needs active IPS signatures, antivirus, and web filtering, those are available individually or as part of the UTP bundle (FC-10-FG9H1-950-02-12) or Enterprise bundle (FC-10-FG9H1-809-02-12). Purchasing a bundle is typically more economical than stacking individual services alongside a standalone Premium subscription.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca carries the FortiCare Premium subscription for the FortiGate 901G in all three term lengths, alongside FortiCloud, FortiConverter, and the full FortiGuard service range for the 901G. As a Fortinet Select Partner, we can confirm registration keys the same business day on orders placed before 2 PM ET. If you need a quote that consolidates multiple 901G licenses into a single expiry date, or want to compare the 1-year cost against a 3-year term, we can run those numbers before the order is finalized.
