Fortinet FortiWiFi 50G FortiCare Elite, 3-Year (FC-10-FW50G-284-02-36)

Three years of uninterrupted FortiCare Elite coverage for your FortiWiFi 50G means your 15-minute critical response SLA and Elite monitoring portal stay active without annual renewal interruptions. SKU FC-10-FW50G-284-02-36 applies to a single registered FortiWiFi 50G unit and activates via the Fortinet Support Portal after electronic delivery.

What FortiCare Elite Covers

FortiCare Elite is the top tier in Fortinet’s support lineup. For the FortiWiFi 50G, it includes:

• 15-minute response time for critical (P1/P2) incidents, around the clock
• 24×7 telephone access to Fortinet TAC engineers
• Advanced hardware replacement (next business day in most regions)
• Full firmware updates, threat intelligence feeds, and Fortinet support portal access
• Extended Long-Term Support (LTS) firmware releases and the Elite monitoring portal

This is the support tier for sites where downtime is measured in dollars per minute.

FortiCare Tier Comparison

This subscription places the FortiWiFi 50G at the Elite tier. Here’s how the three FortiCare tiers compare:

Who Uses FortiCare Elite

Organizations that purchase FortiCare Elite for the FortiWiFi 50G typically fall into a few categories: retail or hospitality environments where the access point and firewall combination is the single network entry point; small offices in compliance-driven industries like healthcare, legal, or finance with strict uptime requirements; and managed service providers who need guaranteed response windows to meet their own SLAs with clients.

Activation and Delivery

This is a virtual subscription. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca sends the license key and registration instructions electronically within 0-1 business days. Activate by logging into support.fortinet.com, navigating to Asset Management, selecting your FortiWiFi 50G by serial number, and applying the registration code. The term begins from the activation date, not the purchase date.

One Service vs. the Full Bundle

FortiCare Elite covers support and hardware replacement only. It does not include FortiGuard security services such as IPS, application control, web filtering, or antivirus. If you need all-inclusive coverage, the FortiWiFi 50G UTP bundle (FC-10-FW50G-950-02-12) or Enterprise bundle (FC-10-FW50G-809-02-12) combine FortiCare and FortiGuard into a single subscription. FortiCare Elite is the right choice when your FortiGuard services are already covered separately, or when you specifically need Elite-tier response without paying for services you’re not using.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

When a 3-year commitment makes sense, DataCenter360.ca can confirm your existing FortiGuard service dates before you place the order so your coverage doesn’t stack unevenly. As a Fortinet Select Partner, we register each license in the Fortinet partner portal after every sale. Orders typically deliver within the same business day.
