Fortinet FortiProxy VM04 FortiCare Premium Support, 5-Year (FC-10-XYVM4-248-02-60)

A 5-year FortiCare Premium Support term for FortiProxy VM04 is the longest single-purchase coverage available, reducing renewal events to one over a half-decade and delivering the most stable budget baseline of any term option. For organizations where VM04’s 4-vCPU proxy capacity is a confirmed, long-term infrastructure choice, this term eliminates support continuity as a recurring concern.

Overview

FortiProxy is Fortinet’s dedicated explicit web proxy, handling SSL/TLS inspection, web filtering, application control, and data loss prevention as a standalone function separate from the firewall. The VM04 virtual appliance tier allocates up to 4 vCPUs, providing twice the processing capacity of the VM02 and supporting a higher volume of concurrent SSL sessions and greater inspection throughput. Supported hypervisors include VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, and Nutanix AHV. FortiCare Premium (service code 248) covers 24×7 telephone support with a 1-hour P1 response SLA, access to all firmware updates released during the 5-year window, and the FortiCare support portal. Virtual appliance subscriptions carry no hardware RMA component.

Who it suits

The 5-year term is best matched to enterprise environments where FortiProxy VM04 is a committed, stable infrastructure component expected to remain in its current capacity tier through the coverage period. Organizations operating under multi-year IT contracts, those that have standardized FortiProxy VM as the enterprise-wide proxy layer across multiple sites, and teams seeking to minimize the administrative frequency of renewal management will see the greatest operational benefit. The VM04’s 4-vCPU capacity is the distinguishing factor over VM02 here: teams with established, higher concurrent proxy user counts gain both throughput headroom and long-term support certainty in a single purchase.
