Fortinet FortiGate 900G-DC FortiCare Premium Support, 1-Year (FC-10-FD9H0-247-02-12)

Not every deployment needs a multi-year commitment from the start. When a FortiGate 900G-DC is being added to an existing DC-power environment mid-cycle, or when budget approval comes in annual increments, a 1-year FortiCare Premium term keeps the appliance under active support without over-committing on coverage duration. It also gives the team a chance to assess the appliance in production before locking in a longer-term arrangement.

What This License Covers

FortiCare Premium is the mid-tier of Fortinet’s three-level support programme. At the Premium tier, the key practical upgrades over Essential are: 24×7 telephone access to TAC (versus business hours only), a 1-hour Sev-1 response target (versus next business day), and advance hardware replacement (versus return-and-replace). The table below compares all three tiers across the criteria that matter most for a production firewall.

Who Needs This Subscription

Teams that operate the FortiGate 900G-DC in production environments where downtime has a real cost. A 1-year term is practical for organizations on annual budget cycles, environments mid-way through a hardware lifecycle where a 3-year commitment would extend beyond the planned refresh date, or as a bridging subscription while a longer-term contract is being processed.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the registration key electronically after order confirmation. Keys are generally issued within one business day. Activate in the Fortinet Support Portal at support.fortinet.com against the FortiGate 900G-DC serial number. Coverage begins on the registration date. No physical shipment is involved regardless of location.

FortiCare Premium vs. the Full Bundle

FortiCare Premium covers support and hardware logistics only. If the 900G-DC also handles active threat inspection — IPS, web filtering, application control, antivirus — those require a separate FortiGuard subscription or a bundle SKU. The UTP bundle (FC-10-FD9H0-950-02-12) combines FortiCare Premium with the most common FortiGuard services in a single SKU, and is generally less expensive than adding them individually. If you are unsure which coverage model fits your deployment, DataCenter360.ca can help compare options before the order is placed.
