Product description

Your FortiGate 900G-DC already runs FortiCare Premium. The FC-10-FD9H0-204-02-12 closes the remaining gap, upgrading that coverage to FortiCare Elite for one year. Instead of a 1-hour Severity-1 response window, you get a dedicated Technical Account Manager and a 15-minute response commitment — the practical difference when a core data-centre firewall goes down at 2 a.m.

What This Upgrade Covers

FC-10-FD9H0-204-02-12 is a 1-year add-on that sits on top of an active FortiCare Premium contract for the FortiGate 900G-DC. It does not replace Premium; it elevates the response tier. Coverage includes:

  • 15-minute Severity-1 response SLA (vs. 1 hour under Premium)
  • Named Technical Account Manager with FortiGate 900G-DC specialization
  • Priority advance hardware replacement with same-day dispatch
  • Elite monitoring portal access for proactive health visibility
  • Extended Long-Term Support (LTS) access for firmware stability

FortiCare Tier Comparison

This product delivers Elite tier coverage. The table below summarizes how each FortiCare tier differs for the FortiGate 900G-DC platform.

Severity-1 response SLA 2 hours 1 hour 15 minutes
24×7 telephone support
Advance hardware replacement
Priority RMA
Firmware, tools & portal access
Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal

Who Needs This Upgrade

Organizations that have already standardized on Premium and now face stricter SLA requirements — a new compliance audit, a merger, or a board-level mandate to reduce MTTR — without wanting to restructure their entire support agreement. If your 900G-DC defends a multi-gigabit internet edge or anchors a zero-trust segment for a regulated workload, 15 minutes matters more than the price delta between Premium and Elite.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-FD9H0-204-02-12 is delivered electronically within 0–1 business days. You receive a license key that registers against your existing FortiCare Premium contract for the same unit. No shipping, no waiting for hardware. Both the existing Premium contract and this upgrade must reference the same FortiGate 900G-DC serial number — confirm before ordering if you manage multiple 900G-DC units.

One-Year vs. Multi-Year Coverage

The 1-year term is the right choice when you want to evaluate Elite SLA performance before committing further, or when procurement cycles prevent a 3-year or 5-year purchase. If you anticipate needing Elite coverage for the full duration of your 900G-DC deployment, the 3-year (FC-10-FD9H0-204-02-36) or 5-year (FC-10-FD9H0-204-02-60) upgrades are available and typically cost less per year.

Does this upgrade replace my FortiCare Premium contract?
No. FC-10-FD9H0-204-02-12 supplements an active Premium contract — it does not replace it. Your Premium renewal cycle continues normally; this upgrade simply elevates the response and monitoring tier during the 1-year window.
What happens when the 1-year upgrade expires?
Coverage reverts to FortiCare Premium at the next renewal point. If you want Elite to continue, purchase another upgrade term before expiry. DataCenter360.ca can track renewal dates and send reminders if needed.
Is this license available worldwide?
Yes. FC-10-FD9H0-204-02-12 is a software subscription delivered electronically to any country. There are no hardware export controls on a support upgrade. DataCenter360.ca processes worldwide orders and delivers via secure e-delivery within 0–1 business days.
How does Elite Priority RMA work for the 900G-DC?
Under Elite, Fortinet targets same-day dispatch of a replacement unit upon RMA approval — a significant improvement over the next-business-day advance replacement under Premium. For a data-centre firewall handling multi-tenant or carrier-grade traffic, that reduction in downtime window is the primary reason teams choose Elite.
Can I apply this upgrade to multiple FortiGate 900G-DC units?
Each FC-10-FD9H0-204-02-12 license covers one unit. You will need one upgrade SKU per serial number. If you are managing a 900G-DC cluster or HA pair, contact DataCenter360.ca to confirm per-unit SKU requirements before placing a multi-unit order.
