Authorized Partner for United States (US)Three years of FortiCare Essential aligns with the typical refresh cycle for branch deployments that do not commit to a full five-year term up front. FC-10-GT70G-314-02-36 covers a single FortiGate 70G at the Essential tier: firmware entitlement, web-based support access, FortiCare asset portal, and return-and-replace RMA for three consecutive years. License only, no hardware shipped, delivered electronically.
Essential is the entry service tier. It gives the registered unit entitlement to FortiOS firmware and security patch releases as Fortinet publishes them, access to web-based technical support and the online knowledge base, registration in the FortiCare asset management portal, and return-and-replace RMA coverage. Response time on critical issues is next business day. There is no telephone support or advanced hardware replacement at this tier — those are FortiCare Premium features.
FortiCare comes in three service levels. This contract is the Essential tier; the table shows how the three compare so you can confirm it fits, or step up if you need faster response.
| Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 1 hour | 15 minutes |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Hardware RMA | Return & replace | Advanced replacement | Advanced replacement |
| Priority RMA add-on eligible | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Firmware updates, online tools & asset portal | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal | — | — | ✓ |
The 3-year contract suits organizations on a three-year budget cycle or those that want multi-year coverage without the full five-year commitment. It is a common choice when a FortiGate 70G hardware bundle is expiring and coverage needs to continue under a matching term structure. Compared to stacking three separate 1-year contracts, the 3-year term reduces renewal overhead and typically comes in at a lower per-year cost.
Delivery is electronic, to any country, normally within 0 to 1 business days of order confirmation. You receive a contract number that you register against the FortiGate 70G serial number in the Fortinet FortiCare portal. Coverage activates immediately upon registration. Nothing ships physically.
Three ways to cover this unit. FortiCare Essential (this contract) provides support only: firmware access, web support, and return-and-replace RMA. FortiCare Premium adds telephone response, 1-hour SLA, and advanced replacement. A UTP or Enterprise subscription bundle layers FortiGuard AI-powered threat services on top of Premium-level FortiCare. If the FortiGate 70G carries traffic that depends on active threat inspection, a bundle is a better starting point than Essential alone.
DataCenter360.ca stocks all three FortiCare Essential term lengths for the FortiGate 70G and processes orders electronically. The contract number is delivered typically within one business day; you register it against the 70G serial in the Fortinet FortiCare portal and coverage activates immediately. As an authorized Fortinet Select Partner, DataCenter360.ca can also help align the contract term to any existing Fortinet services on the same unit.
Three years of FortiCare Essential for one FortiGate 70G: firmware updates and patches, web-based technical support, FortiCare portal registration, and return-and-replace RMA. Telephone support and advanced replacement are available only at the Premium and Elite tiers.
Coverage is identical but a 3-year contract locks in pricing and requires only one renewal action at the end of three years rather than three separate annual renewals. Most teams find the 3-year term simpler to manage over the same period.
FortiCare Essential can be purchased at initial hardware purchase or as a renewal. The contract is registered against the hardware serial in the FortiCare portal and coverage begins at registration regardless of the unit’s age.
Coverage ends unless renewed. Without an active contract the unit retains its installed FortiOS version but loses firmware update entitlement and RMA coverage. You can renew with another Essential contract or step up to Premium at that point.
Fortinet’s standard process is to let the Essential contract run to expiry then renew at the Premium tier. Contact DataCenter360.ca before purchasing if you need guidance on contract tier changes for your specific situation.
