Fortinet FortiGateRugged 60F-3G4G FortiCare Premium Support, 5-Year (FC-10-F60FI-247-02-60)

Industrial networks rarely get a planned downtime window. When a FortiGateRugged 60F-3G4G is the security perimeter for a substation, remote pipeline site, or transportation control node, a support gap translates directly into operational risk. The FC-10-F60FI-247-02-60 locks in five full years of FortiCare Premium so the appliance has Fortinet TAC backing from day one through the end of its deployment cycle.

What FortiCare Premium Covers

This subscription activates the Premium tier of FortiCare support for the FortiGateRugged 60F-3G4G. The table below compares all three tiers so you can see exactly what is included at each level.

With Premium, a severity-1 event triggers a one-hour response SLA from Fortinet TAC, available around the clock. Advance hardware replacement means a replacement unit ships before the failed device is returned, reducing time-to-recovery in remote or difficult-to-reach sites.

Who Needs This Subscription

The FGR-60F-3G4G was built for environments where commercial-grade equipment cannot meet environmental or certification requirements: electrical utilities, oil and gas facilities, water treatment, and rail or transportation infrastructure. Sites using IEC 61850-3 or IEEE 1613 certified hardware typically run it for five to seven years without hardware refresh. A 5-year FortiCare Premium contract aligns support coverage to that lifecycle, avoiding the added cost and administrative overhead of annual renewals. It also carries a lower effective per-year rate than purchasing three consecutive 1-year terms.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the FortiCare license key by email after purchase, typically within one business day. The key is registered against the appliance serial number through the Fortinet Support portal, and coverage activates immediately. There is no physical component to this subscription. The five-year term starts from the activation date, not the purchase date, giving you flexibility if the hardware is being staged before deployment.

FortiCare Premium vs a FortiGuard Bundle

FortiCare Premium covers support and hardware continuity only. It does not include FortiGuard threat intelligence subscriptions such as IPS signatures, application control, antivirus, URL/DNS filtering, or the additional capabilities in the UTP and Enterprise bundles. If the appliance is also running active FortiGuard services, those are managed under separate service codes. For sites that want both hardware support and FortiGuard coverage under a single subscription, the UTP (950) and Enterprise (809) bundle SKUs for the FortiGateRugged 60F-3G4G include FortiCare Premium as a built-in component.
