Fortinet FortiGate 70G FortiCare Premium Support, 3-Year (FC-10-GT70G-247-02-36)

Three years is a natural fit for many FortiGate 70G deployments — it aligns with typical IT budget cycles while giving enough runway to settle in before planning the next refresh. FC-10-GT70G-247-02-36 provides FortiCare Premium for the FG-70G across that window: 24×7 TAC access, a two-hour critical-issue response SLA, and next-business-day hardware replacement. One purchase, three years of covered support.

What FortiCare Premium Covers

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

Who Needs This Coverage

The FortiGate 70G brings FortiSP5 acceleration to mid-tier branch and campus deployments — 4.5 Gbps firewall throughput, 2.5 Gbps IPS, 7.1 Gbps IPsec VPN, and 64 GB onboard SSD for local log retention. When that appliance sits at the center of a branch’s security perimeter, downtime has direct operational impact. FortiCare Premium at three years covers the support gap without requiring an annual renewal conversation: the coverage is in place and active until the term expires.

Teams that want the most flexibility can choose the 1-year variant; teams planning to run the FG-70G through a full 5-year hardware cycle can step up to the 5-year term.

Activation and Delivery

This subscription is electronic. No hardware is shipped. After your order is processed, DataCenter360.ca sends the registration key by email — typically the same business day. You activate it at support.fortinet.com by linking the key to the FortiGate 70G serial number. The three-year term begins on the activation date. If a current FortiCare contract is already active on the unit, the new term stacks from that expiry rather than overwriting it.

There is no geographic restriction. The license activates on appliances deployed anywhere in the world.

FortiCare Premium vs. a Bundle Subscription

FC-10-GT70G-247-02-36 is a support-only subscription. No FortiGuard threat feeds are included — IPS, URL filtering, antivirus, application control, and DNS filtering all require a separate service. If you need FortiGuard coverage and support in one contract, the UTP and Enterprise bundles for the FG-70G combine those services with FortiCare Premium across the same 3-year term. Standalone FortiCare makes sense when threat services are already covered and you simply need to extend or add support entitlement.
