Fortinet FortiGate 900G-DC FortiCare Premium Support, 5-Year (FC-10-FD9H0-247-02-60)

Data centres that specify DC-power infrastructure do so for a reason: higher efficiency, compatibility with battery-backed bus bars, and elimination of AC-DC conversion losses at the appliance level. The FortiGate 900G-DC is purpose-built for those environments, delivering the same 26 Gbps IPS and 22 Gbps NGFW throughput as the AC model but powered from DC rails. Protecting that investment with a 5-year FortiCare Premium term keeps TAC access and advance RMA coverage in place for the full operational lifecycle without revisiting support budgets annually.

What This License Covers

FortiCare Premium is the mid-tier of Fortinet’s three-level support programme. For a data-centre appliance like the 900G-DC, it delivers the response time and logistics that production SLAs require: a one-hour Sev-1 response target, 24×7 telephone access, and advance hardware replacement. The table below compares Premium to Essential and Elite on the criteria that most affect uptime planning.

Who Needs This Subscription

The FortiGate 900G-DC is deployed in environments where AC power is unavailable or undesirable: co-location facilities, telecommunications rooms, industrial data floors, and high-density server racks fed from DC bus bars. Organizations in these settings plan infrastructure in multi-year cycles. A 5-year FortiCare Premium term aligns with those cycles, locks in current pricing for the full span, and removes the annual renewal burden from the operations team.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the registration code electronically after order confirmation. You activate 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. There is no physical media; delivery is electronic regardless of location, making it straightforward to register from any country.

One Service vs. the Full Bundle

FortiCare Premium is a support and logistics contract only. It does not include FortiGuard threat-intelligence feeds such as IPS signatures, web filtering, application control, or antivirus updates. If the FortiGate 900G-DC requires active threat inspection as part of its data-centre security role, review the UTP or Enterprise subscription bundles, which combine FortiCare Premium with the appropriate FortiGuard services in a single SKU. Over a five-year horizon, a bundle is almost always more economical than adding the components separately.
