Fortinet FortiGate 201G FortiCare Premium, 1-Year (FC-10-F2H1G-247-02-12)

Deploying a FortiGate 201G and starting with an annual FortiCare Premium contract gives you full TAC access during the phase when you need it most. The first year after deploying an NP7Lite-based firewall at the network edge is typically when policy tuning, SD-WAN configuration, and integration work surface edge cases that benefit from a live Fortinet engineer on the phone. This 1-year subscription provides 24×7 telephone TAC access, a 4-hour critical-issue SLA, and advance hardware replacement for the FG-201G — no multi-year commitment required.

What FortiCare Premium Covers

FortiCare Premium for the FortiGate 201G on a 1-year term includes:

• 24×7 telephone access to Fortinet TAC for the 1-year term
• 4-hour response SLA for critical (P1) support cases
• Advance hardware replacement — a replacement FG-201G ships before the failed unit is returned
• All FortiOS firmware updates and major software releases during the 1-year term
• FortiCare portal access, technical notes, and configuration tools

Who Buys FortiCare Premium Annually on the FG-201G

Annual FortiCare Premium is practical for organizations on fiscal-year budget cycles, for projects where the 201G is in a proof-of-concept or transition phase, and for VAR deployments where the end customer manages renewal annually. It is also the right choice for teams evaluating Premium-tier TAC engagement before committing to a 3- or 5-year term. The annual cycle provides flexibility without sacrificing the 4-hour critical response that production deployments require.

FortiCare Premium vs Essential vs Elite

This listing is the FortiCare Premium tier — one step above Essential, one step below Elite. Here is how the tiers compare on the FortiGate 201G:

FortiCare Premium vs the Full Security Bundle

FortiCare Premium covers support and hardware continuity only. It does not enable FortiGuard security services (IPS, Web Filtering, AntiVirus, Application Control). If your FG-201G already has those covered through a bundle or separate subscription, FortiCare Premium adds the TAC and hardware replacement layer independently. If you need security feeds and support in a single 1-year subscription, the UTP Bundle (FC-10-F2H1G-950-02-12) or Enterprise Bundle (FC-10-F2H1G-809-02-12) already include FortiCare Premium.
