Authorized Partner for United States (US)Three years of FortiCare Premium lines up naturally with how most organizations refresh network hardware. You buy the FortiGate 71G, you cover it for the typical service life, and you renew when the next generation comes around. This SKU locks in 24/7 support coverage at a single purchase price for the full three-year window, which is usually lower per-year than stacking three annual renewals.
FortiCare Premium for the FortiGate 71G delivers Fortinet’s mid-tier support, combining phone access and fast response with advance hardware logistics. The coverage includes:
Like all FortiCare-only SKUs, this does not include FortiGuard AI-powered services. Those services come through UTP or Enterprise bundle contracts.
The three-year term is the most common choice for branch firewall deployments. IT teams that standardize on 3-year budget cycles prefer it because one purchase covers the hardware from commissioning through the likely refresh date. Managed service providers also use 3-year contracts when they want support coverage aligned to client engagement terms.
The FortiGate 71G is typically found at branch offices with 10 to 60 users, providing perimeter firewall, SD-WAN, and integrated LAN switching via FortiLink. Support response time matters here because branch sites rarely have on-site IT staff.
This is a virtual subscription. DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation key or Fortinet contract registration code electronically after your order processes. You register it at support.fortinet.com against your FortiGate 71G serial number, and coverage activates immediately from that date. Delivery goes to any country — there is no physical item to ship.
Buying FortiCare Premium alongside separate FortiGuard services adds up quickly. If you need both support coverage and active threat prevention on the 71G, compare the 3-year UTP bundle (FC-10-GT71G-950-02-36) or Enterprise bundle — both include FortiCare Premium in one SKU. This standalone contract is the right choice when you already have a valid FortiGuard bundle running and just need to keep the support tier active independently.
This product is FortiCare Premium. The table below shows how the three tiers compare for the FortiGate 71G series.
| Feature | Essential | Premium | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 2 hours (24/7) | 1 hour (24/7) |
| Telephone support (24/7) | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Hardware replacement | Return-to-factory | Advance replacement | Advance replacement |
| Priority RMA add-on eligible | — | ✓ | Included |
| Firmware, tools & portal access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal | — | — | ✓ |
DataCenter360.ca sources Fortinet subscriptions directly through the authorized partner channel and passes them through without the usual reseller markup on time. The 3-year term is in stock and delivers electronically to any country within one business day of your order. Orders are processed the same day for any quantity.
FortiCare Premium provides 24/7 telephone access to Fortinet engineers, a two-hour response for critical issues, advance hardware replacement (next business day), access to firmware updates and the FortiCare portal, and eligibility to add a Priority RMA supplement. It does not include FortiGuard security services such as IPS signatures, web filtering, or antivirus.
Essential limits response to the next business day and provides web-only support with return-to-factory RMA. Premium doubles the response with a 24/7 two-hour SLA, adds telephone access, and includes advance hardware replacement. If uptime matters at your site, Premium is the appropriate baseline tier.
After your order processes, DataCenter360.ca sends a Fortinet contract or registration key electronically, typically within one business day. You register it at support.fortinet.com, link it to your FortiGate 71G serial number, and the coverage activates immediately. No physical media is shipped.
Yes. Fortinet allows renewal up to 90 days before the expiry date, which avoids coverage gaps. Renewing early also preserves your existing contract end date as the new start so you don’t lose any paid coverage. Contact DataCenter360.ca or re-order the 3-Year SKU (FC-10-GT71G-247-02-36) when your renewal window opens.
If your FortiGate 71G already has an active FortiGuard subscription (UTP or Enterprise bundle), you do not need a standalone FortiCare SKU as FortiCare Premium is included in those bundles. This product is for appliances running hardware-only with no active bundle, or for customers who want to manage support and security subscriptions separately. If you need FortiGuard services as well, compare the UTP (FG-71G UTP bundle) or Enterprise bundle — both include FortiCare Premium coverage.
