Fortinet FortiManager 1000F FortiCare Elite Support, 1-Year (FC-10-FM1KF-284-02-12)

FortiCare Elite is Fortinet’s highest support tier for the FortiManager 1000F, built for mission-critical infrastructure where a 15-minute response to critical issues is an operational requirement. It combines the fastest available response SLA with Extended Long-Term Support and the Elite monitoring portal, providing both reactive speed and proactive visibility into the management plane.

Overview

FortiCare Elite for the FortiManager 1000F delivers a 15-minute critical-issue response SLA, telephone support, and advance-ship replacement RMA. Extended Long-Term Support (LTS) extends software coverage beyond the standard lifecycle, reducing pressure to migrate firmware on a rigid schedule in complex large-scale deployments. The Elite monitoring portal adds proactive health and availability visibility into your FortiManager environment. Compared to FortiCare Premium, which carries a 1-hour SLA with no LTS or Elite portal access, Elite provides the 15-minute SLA, Extended LTS, and the monitoring portal. Compared to FortiCare Essential, which is next-business-day and return-and-replace only with no phone access, Elite represents the full suite of Fortinet support capabilities for this appliance. This is an electronic license delivered worldwide; no hardware ships.

Who it suits

FortiCare Elite is appropriate for security operations centers, managed service providers, and large enterprises where the FortiManager 1000F manages a device estate of a scale at which any management-plane outage has immediate, broad impact. Organizations with regulatory or contractual obligations requiring sub-30-minute support response, or teams running FortiManager in configurations where firmware version stability over an extended period is a deployment constraint, should evaluate Elite over the Premium tier.
