Fortinet FortiManager 1000G Secure RMA Service, 5-Year (FC-10-FM1KG-301-02-60)

Infrastructure commitments at the FortiManager 1000G scale typically span well beyond a single budget cycle. FC-10-FM1KG-301-02-60 provides five full years of Secure RMA coverage, locking in drive-wiped hardware replacement protection from activation through the end of the appliance’s likely service life. Minimizing renewal touchpoints over a 60-month window reduces administrative overhead and eliminates the compliance exposure that can occur when a service lapse coincides with a hardware failure.

Overview

Secure RMA (service code 301) is an add-on to an active FortiCare support plan. It ensures that replacement hardware dispatched by Fortinet has storage media securely erased before shipment, and that returned appliances are handled under documented erasure procedures. Over a 5-Year term, the FortiManager 1000G remains covered through the full period without annual re-purchasing. The protection is particularly significant given the volume of configuration data the 1000G typically holds across large enterprise or multi-tenant service provider environments.

The table below compares Secure RMA eligibility and response commitments across FortiCare plan tiers:

Who it suits

The 5-Year term fits organizations with stable, long-horizon infrastructure plans where the FortiManager 1000G is a fixed component of the network management architecture for the foreseeable future. Government agencies and defense contractors operating under long-term IT contracts, and service providers maintaining managed-infrastructure agreements measured in multi-year terms, benefit from aligning the Secure RMA coverage period to those commitments. Finance and healthcare organizations with 5-year compliance certification cycles will also find the term length well-matched.
