Fortinet FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-F50GP-210-02-12)

Budget planning for IT renewals often works on a 12-month cycle, and matching hardware replacement coverage to that cycle is a straightforward way to keep support contracts aligned. The Fortinet FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-F50GP-210-02-12) covers exactly that window: if the FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE fails, Fortinet ships a replacement device so it arrives by the next calendar day after the exchange is confirmed. Your on-site team handles the swap using the incoming unit; the failed appliance is returned in the same packaging.

What This Service Covers

Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA is Fortinet’s courier-based advanced replacement tier. After an RMA case is opened, validated, and approved, a replacement FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE ships immediately. The goal is delivery to the site location the following calendar day. No on-site engineer is included. You or your local technician complete the physical swap, register the replacement in FortiCloud or the Fortinet Support Portal, and send the defective unit back using the provided return label.

This service requires an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract on the same device. Essential contracts do not qualify for Priority RMA add-ons.

FortiCare Tiers and Priority RMA Eligibility

The table below outlines the base FortiCare tiers and where Priority RMA access sits within them.

Who Purchases the 1-Year Term

The annual term fits several scenarios: a FortiGate 50G-SFP-PoE that was purchased mid-year and needs coverage aligned to the next renewal cycle; an organization with fiscal-year purchasing that cannot commit beyond 12 months; or a pilot deployment under evaluation before a longer-term refresh decision. It also serves as a bridge term when a 3-year contract lapses and hardware replacement hasn’t yet been scheduled.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F50GP-210-02-12 is a software license key, not a physical shipment. After purchasing from DataCenter360.ca, the key arrives electronically and is applied in the Fortinet Support Portal against the target device’s serial number. Coverage begins on the activation date. The physical replacement unit only ships when an actual failure and confirmed RMA event occurs during the coverage period.

Extending Coverage: 3-Year and 5-Year Options

If your deployment planning runs longer, the 3-year version (FC-10-F50GP-210-02-36) and the 5-year version (FC-10-F50GP-210-02-60) are both available from DataCenter360.ca. Longer terms typically reduce the effective per-year cost and eliminate the annual renewal touchpoint. All three term lengths for this service are available and can be ordered immediately.
