Fortinet FortiGate 900G-DC FortiCare Elite Support, 5-Year (FC-10-FD9H0-284-02-60)

Five-year support terms and DC-power infrastructure tend to go together. Organizations that deploy the FortiGate 900G-DC in bus-bar or HVDC-fed racks plan in multi-year infrastructure cycles, and the FC-10-FD9H0-284-02-60 covers that full span at FortiCare Elite, Fortinet’s highest support tier. You lock in a known support cost for five years and get the fastest response commitments Fortinet offers.

What FortiCare Elite Covers

FortiCare Elite is the top level of Fortinet’s three-tier support programme. This subscription places the FortiGate 900G-DC at the Elite tier for the full five-year term. The table below compares Elite to Premium and Essential on the criteria that matter most for production data-centre operations.

Who Should Order This Subscription

The FortiGate 900G-DC is built for environments where AC power is architecturally unavailable or undesirable: co-location facilities, telecom central offices, industrial data floors, and high-density server halls fed from DC bus bars. These sites share a common planning horizon measured in years.

FortiCare Elite at the 5-year term suits organizations that run the 900G-DC as a primary perimeter or segmentation device with strict uptime SLAs, service providers with per-tenant availability commitments, and operations teams that want the annual support renewal removed from their task list for the life of the appliance.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the registration code by email after order confirmation, typically within one business day. You apply it in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) against the FortiGate 900G-DC serial number. Coverage begins on the registration date and runs for five consecutive years. No physical media is involved; the process is fully electronic regardless of where you are located.

FortiCare Elite vs. FortiGuard Subscription Bundles

FortiCare Elite is a support and logistics contract only. It provides TAC access, advance hardware replacement, and Extended LTS software coverage. It does not activate FortiGuard threat-intelligence services such as IPS signatures, antivirus, DNS filtering, or application control. If you need active FortiGuard protection alongside top-tier support, the FortiGate 900G-DC subscription bundles combine both in a single license. If FortiGuard is already active under a separate contract, this standalone Elite subscription is the correct add-on to reach the highest support tier.
