Fortinet FortiGate 900G-DC FortiCare Premium Support, 3-Year (FC-10-FD9H0-247-02-36)

A 3-year support term is often the right call for a DC-power deployment. Facilities that run DC bus bars — co-location rows, telecommunications equipment rooms, industrial data floors — plan their infrastructure in 3-to-5-year cycles. Aligning the FortiCare Premium term to that cycle means the FortiGate 900G-DC stays under active TAC coverage and advance-replacement logistics for the full period without an annual renewal touching the budget.

What This License Covers

FortiCare Premium sits in the middle of Fortinet’s three-tier support programme. For a data-centre appliance delivering 26 Gbps IPS and 22 Gbps NGFW throughput, the practical difference between tiers comes down to how fast Fortinet responds when something goes wrong. The table below makes the comparison concrete.

Who Needs This Subscription

Organizations that have standardized on DC-power infrastructure and deployed the FortiGate 900G-DC as their perimeter or data-centre segmentation appliance. A 3-year term suits environments where the appliance lifecycle is expected to run 3–5 years and the team wants continuity of support without negotiating annual renewals. It also suits procurement teams that lock in pricing early, since the rate is fixed at purchase and cannot increase mid-term.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the registration key electronically after order confirmation, typically within one business day. Activation is done through the Fortinet Support Portal at support.fortinet.com using the 900G-DC serial number. Coverage starts on the date the key is registered and runs for three consecutive years from that date. No physical media is shipped; delivery works the same way regardless of where the order is placed.

FortiCare Premium vs. the Full Bundle

This subscription covers support and logistics only — TAC access, RMA, firmware access. It does not include FortiGuard threat-intelligence services such as IPS signatures, application control, web filtering, or antivirus updates. If the 900G-DC also needs active threat inspection, the UTP or Enterprise subscription bundles combine FortiCare Premium with the appropriate FortiGuard services at a lower total cost than purchasing them separately. That is worth reviewing before ordering individual components across a 3-year horizon.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca stocks the full FortiCare Premium range for the 900G-DC — 1, 3, and 5-year terms — so matching the coverage period to an existing DC infrastructure contract or budget cycle is straightforward. As a Fortinet Select Partner, we issue confirmed registration keys with same-business-day turnaround on most orders placed before 2 PM ET. Co-term pricing to align a new subscription with existing entitlements on the same appliance is available on request before checkout.
