United States (US) Authorized DistributorThe FortiGate 50G-SFP’s SFP+ WAN port makes it well-suited to small offices with fiber connectivity. Three years of FortiCare Essential (FC-10-F50GS-314-02-36) covers the appliance through a standard deployment window with ticket-based TAC, firmware updates, and portal access — one purchase, no annual renewal.
FortiCare Essential is the base support tier for Fortinet appliances. With this subscription active on your FortiGate 50G-SFP, you have ticket-based access to Fortinet’s Technical Assistance Center, rights to firmware and feature updates throughout the 3-year term, and access to the FortiCare portal for license registration and service management. Telephone support (24×7) and advance hardware replacement (RMA) are not included; those fall under FortiCare Premium and above.
This product is the FortiCare Essential tier. The table below shows how the three FortiCare support levels compare for FortiGate hardware:
| Support Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ticket-based TAC support | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Telephone support (24×7) | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Advance hardware replacement (RMA) | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Priority RMA add-on eligibility | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Firmware updates, tools and portal access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support and Elite monitoring portal | — | — | ✓ |
Three-year Essential coverage suits organizations managing their FortiGate 50G-SFP in-house that prefer a mid-range commitment — longer than annual, without the maximum five-year term. It is a common choice when the hardware is expected to remain in production for three to four years, TAC escalations are handled by ticket, and advance hardware replacement is not a priority. If RMA coverage matters for your site’s uptime requirements, FortiCare Premium is the appropriate tier.
The FC-10-F50GS-314-02-36 is a software entitlement. There is no hardware to ship. Fortinet delivers an activation key electronically after purchase, which you register in the FortiCare or FortiCloud portal and associate with the FortiGate 50G-SFP serial number. DataCenter360.ca processes orders within 0–1 business days. Once registered, the 3-year term begins and coverage is tracked on the Fortinet portal.
FortiCare Essential covers support and maintenance only. Running FortiGuard security feeds on the FortiGate 50G-SFP requires separate FortiGuard subscriptions, or you can consolidate with a bundle. The UTP subscription (FC-10-F50GS-950-02-12) and Enterprise subscription (FC-10-F50GS-809-02-12) bundle FortiCare Premium with all major FortiGuard services in a single annual SKU. For a branch running active threat protection, a bundle typically offers better per-feature cost than stacking Essential plus separate FortiGuard licenses.
DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner and MSSP. Orders for the FC-10-F50GS-314-02-36 are processed and delivered electronically within one business day. 3-Year of coverage from a single purchase keeps procurement simple and ensures no gap in firmware or TAC access.
