Fortinet FortiGate 70G FortiCare Premium Support, 1-Year (FC-10-GT70G-247-02-12)

The FortiGate 70G runs on FortiSP5 and delivers 4.5 Gbps firewall throughput, 2.5 Gbps IPS, and 64 GB of onboard SSD for local log storage in a 1U form factor. FC-10-GT70G-247-02-12 is the one-year FortiCare Premium subscription that keeps the appliance under full Fortinet support: 24×7 telephone access to TAC, a two-hour SLA on critical issues, and next-business-day hardware replacement if the unit fails. One year of coverage, no multi-year commitment required.

What FortiCare Premium Covers

This is the FortiCare Premium tier for the FortiGate 70G. The table below shows how it compares with the Essential and Elite tiers.

Who Needs This Coverage

Annual FortiCare terms work well for organizations that review their support posture on a yearly basis — or for new deployments where you’re evaluating coverage needs before committing to a longer term. The FG-70G is often deployed as the primary firewall at mid-size branch offices where any failure means users lose internet access, VPN connectivity, and potentially Wi-Fi if the AP management runs through the FortiGate. For that role, FortiCare Premium’s 24×7 TAC and two-hour critical SLA are worth the step up from Essential.

Teams that have settled on their coverage requirements and want to reduce renewal overhead can move to the 3-year or 5-year variants at any time.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-GT70G-247-02-12 is an electronic subscription. No physical product ships with this order. The registration key is emailed after purchase — DataCenter360.ca typically fulfills the same business day. You activate it via the Fortinet Support Portal at support.fortinet.com, tying the contract to your FortiGate 70G serial number. Coverage is live the moment you complete registration.

This license has no geographic restrictions. It can be activated on a FortiGate 70G deployed anywhere in the world.

FortiCare Premium vs. a Bundle Subscription

FC-10-GT70G-247-02-12 is a support-only contract. It does not unlock any FortiGuard services — no IPS signature updates, no URL or DNS filtering, no antivirus, no application control. If you need FortiGuard services alongside support in one SKU, the UTP bundle (FC-10-GT70G-950-02-12) or Enterprise bundle (FC-10-GT70G-809-02-12) at one year covers both in a single subscription. Standalone FortiCare makes sense when you’re renewing support on a unit that already has active FortiGuard coverage from a separate contract.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner in Canada carrying the full FortiGate 70G service stack. FC-10-GT70G-247-02-12 is available for immediate order with electronic delivery — the activation key typically arrives the same business day. If you need more than one year of coverage in a single transaction, three-year and five-year variants of the same FortiCare Premium subscription are also available. Renewal terms stack from the current expiry date, so ordering early does not cost you any active days.
