Product description

A three-year FortiCare Elite contract for the FortiGate 30G (FC-10-FG30G-284-02-36) means the same 15-minute critical-issue response is locked in for 36 months without an annual renewal cycle. For IT teams running the FortiGate 30G as a production perimeter firewall, removing the expiry risk from a three-year window is often worth more than the flexibility of a shorter term.

What FortiCare Elite Covers

FortiCare Elite is Fortinet’s top support tier for hardware appliances. On the FortiGate 30G for three years it includes:

  • 24x7x365 telephone and web technical support
  • 15-minute initial response on Priority 1 and Priority 2 (critical) issues
  • 2-hour response for Priority 3 and Priority 4 issues
  • Standard next-business-day hardware replacement RMA
  • Firmware updates, security advisories, and portal access for the full 3-year term
  • Access to the FortiCare Elite monitoring portal

Firmware, tools & portal access
Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal

Who Benefits From a 3-Year Elite Term

Multi-year contracts are common in environments where the firewall will stay in service for the foreseeable future. A three-year Elite term works well for a managed service provider locking in consistent SLAs across a client base, a finance-controlled IT budget that prefers support costs set for the life of the asset, or an operations team that wants to eliminate the risk of a lapsed contract if a renewal slips in a busy month. Three-year pricing typically comes in below three separate 1-year purchases.

Activation and Delivery

License only, no hardware. DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation details electronically within one business day of purchase. Registration happens at support.fortinet.com by linking the license to the FortiGate 30G serial number. All three years of Elite support activate immediately from registration. The subscription works worldwide, regardless of where the FortiGate is deployed.

FortiCare Elite vs a Bundle Subscription

This subscription improves the support response tier. It does not add FortiGuard security feeds like IPS, antivirus, or web filtering. If you need FortiGuard services alongside the support upgrade, the UTP and Enterprise bundles for the FortiGate 30G combine FortiCare Premium with the full FortiGuard feed set in a single subscription. FortiCare Elite is the right pick when your FortiGuard licensing is already in place and support response time is the only gap to close.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

Orders placed at DataCenter360.ca are processed the same day, and electronic delivery means the license arrives within one business day. As a Fortinet Select Partner and MSSP, DataCenter360.ca can also assist with registration questions or multi-unit ordering for organizations managing several FortiGate devices. For a 3-year contract starting at a specific date, ordering close to the current contract expiry ensures the new term starts without a gap.

What does the 3-year term cover compared to buying three 1-year subscriptions?

Coverage is identical. The 3-year contract locks in the Elite support tier continuously for 36 months without requiring an annual renewal. This removes the risk of a support gap if a renewal is delayed, and 3-year pricing is typically more cost-effective than three separate annual contracts.

What is the 15-minute response time guarantee for Elite?

For Priority 1 (system down) and Priority 2 (critical function impaired) cases opened via the Fortinet support portal, a FortiCare Elite contract commits Fortinet to making first contact within 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Priority 3 and Priority 4 cases receive a 2-hour initial response.

Does this subscription include hardware replacement?

Yes. Standard next-business-day RMA is included. If you need accelerated hardware replacement beyond NBD, the Priority RMA add-on (FC-10-FG30G-210-02-36) can be purchased separately. Both FortiCare Premium and Elite are eligible for the Priority RMA add-on.

Can this subscription be transferred if the FortiGate 30G is replaced under RMA?

FortiCare contracts are tied to a specific appliance serial number. If the unit is replaced under an RMA case, Fortinet typically handles the service transfer as part of that case. For resale or other ownership changes, contact Fortinet support or DataCenter360.ca to confirm the transfer process.

Is this license valid worldwide or Canada-only?

Worldwide. FortiCare support licenses are not region-locked. The subscription activates at support.fortinet.com and applies to the registered serial number regardless of where the hardware is deployed.
