Keeping a FortiSwitch 1048G covered for a 1-year term suits teams that align support spend with annual budget cycles or want to evaluate the Premium tier before committing to a longer contract. During that year, Fortinet engineers are available 24×7 by telephone, critical issues receive a 1-hour response, and a failed switch gets an advanced replacement shipped before the original is returned.
FortiCare Premium is the mid-tier in Fortinet’s three-level support stack. Its key differentiator from Essential is the 1-hour critical-issue response, available 24×7 by telephone. Hardware replacement ships as an advanced unit before the failed device is returned, reducing downtime on the FS-1048G. Firmware updates, the FortiCloud asset portal, and Fortinet’s online tools are included at all tiers. Extended LTS support and the Elite monitoring portal are Elite-only.

The FortiSwitch 1048G carries 48 25GE SFP28 ports and 100GE uplinks running FortiOS inside a Security Fabric. Teams with on-call responsibilities and SLA commitments to internal users benefit from Premium’s 1-hour response and same-day replacement unit. Organizations with less stringent requirements can weigh Essential; regulated or mission-critical environments should assess Elite.
This is an electronic license delivered by email. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca sends a Fortinet entitlement confirmation. You register the license on the Fortinet Support Portal at support.fortinet.com, associate it with the FS-1048G serial number, and support activates immediately. There is no hardware to receive. Delivery reaches customers worldwide, and Canadian buyers face no additional steps beyond registration. Keep the confirmation email and the registered serial number on file for any RMA request.
This contract covers FortiCare Premium support only. It does not include FortiGuard security subscriptions such as threat intelligence or license bundles that combine hardware and multi-year coverage. If the FortiSwitch 1048G was purchased without a support contract, this standalone SKU adds Premium coverage to an existing device. If you are also purchasing FortiGuard or FortiGate Security Fabric subscriptions, those are separate line items. Verify the expiry date of any existing FortiCare contract before purchase to avoid overlap or gaps.
DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner. A 1-year term is available directly from the product page: add to cart or request a quote for volume pricing. Because this is a 1-year commitment, it is easy to reassess coverage needs at renewal. Organizations running multiple FortiSwitch 1048G units can request a consolidated quote to align renewal dates across devices. Purchase confirmation includes the entitlement details needed to complete registration on the Fortinet Support Portal.
