Fortinet FortiGate 90G 4-Hour HW and Onsite Engineer Priority RMA, 3-Year (FC-10-0090G-212-02-36)

A three-year FortiGate 90G with no local IT staff creates real risk if hardware fails. The FC-10-0090G-212-02-36 addresses that directly: for the full 3-year contract period, any confirmed hardware failure brings a replacement and a Fortinet-certified engineer to your location within four hours.

What the 4-Hour HW and Onsite Engineer Service Covers

FC-10-0090G-212 is a Priority RMA add-on that activates when Fortinet TAC confirms a hardware failure on the FortiGate 90G. Two things happen simultaneously: a replacement unit is dispatched to your site, and a Fortinet-certified field engineer is scheduled for on-site arrival. The target for both is four hours from case confirmation. The engineer performs the physical hardware swap and assists with initial bring-up, reducing the technical burden on staff at the site.

This 3-Year contract keeps that response level in place for the full duration, with no annual renewal required.

Who This Service Is For

The -212- tier is intended for sites where fast hardware delivery alone is not enough. Remote branch offices without resident IT staff, retail locations where network downtime means lost transactions, and medical or professional environments where operations cannot run without internet access are all candidates. If a hardware failure means someone on-site has to wait for head-office IT to drive out, the 4-Hour HW and Onsite Engineer option is the right fit.

If your site has qualified technical staff who can perform the swap themselves, the 4-Hour Hardware Delivery (FC-10-0090G-211) provides the same fast hardware response at a lower cost, without the on-site engineer component.

Activation and Delivery

The license delivers electronically after purchase. Register it in the FortiCare support portal against your FortiGate 90G serial number, and the 3-Year coverage period begins. The 4-hour dispatch SLA activates only when you open a TAC case for a confirmed hardware failure — coverage is standing by, not consuming itself at registration.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca ships the FC-10-0090G-212-02-36 license electronically, typically the same business day as your order. The three-year term aligns well with most lease and refresh cycles. If your site has resident technical staff who could perform the swap, the -211- (4-Hour Hardware Delivery) at a lower cost point may be worth comparing.
