Fortinet FortiWiFi 31G Managed FortiGate Service (NOC), 3-Year (FC-10-WF31G-660-02-36)

The FortiWiFi 31G is an easy box to install and an easy one to neglect: it runs quietly until a change is needed, and then someone has to know FortiOS well enough to make it safely. The FortiWiFi 31G 3-Year Managed FortiGate Service (FC-10-WF31G-660-02-36) removes that dependency by giving Fortinet’s network operations center three years of device setup and network and policy change management, around the clock. It is delivered as an electronic subscription with no hardware, available worldwide.

What this service covers

The Managed FortiGate Service puts Fortinet’s network operations center to work on your FortiWiFi 31G so your own people do not have to run it day to day:

• Device setup and onboarding: NOC engineers bring the firewall into a managed state, set a baseline configuration, and confirm it is reporting in correctly.
• Network change management: routing, interfaces, VPN, and connectivity changes are handled by Fortinet staff through a controlled request process instead of ad hoc edits.
• Policy change management: firewall rules and security policy are adjusted for you, with every change documented so there is a clear record of what moved and when.
• 24×7 coverage: the service is staffed around the clock, so a change or a problem at an awkward hour does not have to wait for your working day.

Who needs it

This subscription fits an organization that owns a FortiWiFi 31G but has no network engineer to keep it tuned: a small business, a branch office, or a remote site where rolling a truck is impractical. It also helps a stretched IT team that would rather hand the routine config and policy work to Fortinet and spend its own hours elsewhere.

Activation and delivery

The entitlement is issued electronically and registered to a specific FortiWiFi 31G by serial number. Onboarding with the NOC starts once the service is provisioned, and the three-year coverage window runs from activation. Nothing ships, and the firewall has to be in service so the NOC can reach and manage it.

Operations, not a security subscription

The Managed FortiGate Service is about how the FortiWiFi 31G is run and changed, not the FortiGuard threat intelligence that blocks attacks. Intrusion prevention, antivirus, and web filtering live in the UTP or Enterprise bundle, and most managed sites run one of those next to this service so the NOC has full protection to operate. Together you get a device that is both managed and actively defended.

Why a three-year term

Three years strikes the practical balance for managed coverage. It brings the yearly price under the one-year rate and spans enough change, multiple audits and seasonal shifts, to prove how much routine work the NOC takes on, without locking you in for the device’s entire life. It suits a 31G you expect to keep in place but may reassess at the next refresh.
