Fortinet FortiGate 901G Next-Day Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-FG9H1-210-02-60)

Committing a FortiGate 901G to a data-center rack for five years is a hardware-availability decision as much as a security one. This SKU locks in Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA for the full five-year window, so advance-replacement coverage does not lapse and get renegotiated mid-lifecycle.

What this Priority RMA service covers

This line activates Fortinet Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA on a FortiGate 901G for five years. When a covered appliance fails, Fortinet ships a replacement unit for next-calendar-day delivery instead of the standard return-and-replace path, so a dead firewall does not sit at the edge of your network while a unit travels back and forth. It is an add-on to FortiCare: the appliance must already carry an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract for the Priority RMA entitlement to apply.

Who needs it

The 901G is a high-throughput data-center and campus firewall, and for most teams running one it is a single point in the traffic path. Priority RMA suits sites where a next-business-day return window is too slow: colocation racks, regional data centers, and branch cores that cannot wait days for replacement hardware. If you already keep a cold spare on the shelf, standard RMA may be enough; if you do not, this is the line that keeps mean-time-to-replace measured in a day rather than a week.

How FortiCare RMA tiers compare

Priority RMA is the advance-shipping upgrade that sits on top of FortiCare Premium or Elite. The table shows where the base tiers land and where the Priority add-on applies.

Activation and delivery

Delivery is electronic. After checkout you receive the registration details to attach the contract to your FortiGate 901G serial number in the Fortinet support portal, which sets the coverage window and the advance-replacement entitlement. Because the license moves as data, there is no hardware to ship for the service itself and it can be registered from anywhere in the world.

One service line vs. the full support stack

Priority RMA covers hardware logistics, not threat protection. It pairs with, and does not replace, your FortiCare support level and any FortiGuard security subscriptions on the same appliance. If you are building coverage from scratch, decide the FortiCare tier first, then add Priority RMA where replacement speed matters.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

Buying the five-year term up front means one purchase order covers the appliance for its planned service life, with no gap years where a lapsed RMA leaves a production firewall exposed to slow replacement. DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner; we register the coverage against your serial and can quote the matching FortiCare tier if the 901G is not on Premium or Elite yet.
