United States (US) Authorized DistributorThe FortiSwitch 1024E is a 1U data center switch built around 24x 10GbE SFP+ ports and two 100GbE QSFP28 uplinks, delivering 880 Gbps of switching capacity. In a data center environment, that level of throughput makes support response time critical: a hardware failure on the FortiSwitch 1024E affects server connectivity, not just user traffic. FC-10-S1E24-247-02-12 provides one year of FortiCare Premium coverage — 24/7 technical support and next-business-day hardware replacement — so a failure is addressed on the next business day rather than after a standard return-and-replace cycle.
Over the 1-year contract on the FortiSwitch 1024E, FortiCare Premium provides:
This product provides FortiCare Premium support. The table below compares how Premium stacks against Essential and Elite for FortiSwitch hardware.

FC-10-S1E24-247-02-12 fits organizations deploying the FortiSwitch 1024E in data center access or aggregation roles where server-facing 10G connectivity demands fast hardware replacement. IT teams that need annual contract flexibility — whether due to budget cycles, procurement policy, or a desire to assess the deployment before committing to a multi-year term — benefit from the 1-year structure. It also suits managed service providers supporting customer environments on annual contracts aligned to their service agreements.
FC-10-S1E24-247-02-12 is an electronic license. DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation key to your order email, typically the same business day. Register the key in the Fortinet Support Portal against your FortiSwitch 1024E serial number. If co-terming with an existing contract on the same unit or within the same deployment, contact DataCenter360.ca before purchase to confirm the correct dates.
FortiCare Essential (FC-10-S1E24-314-02-12) offers business-hours support and standard return-and-replace RMA. For a 24-port 10GbE switch at the data center access layer, the critical distinction is RMA speed. Under Essential, a hardware failure can mean several business days without the unit while awaiting a replacement. Under Premium, a replacement ships the next business day after the failure is confirmed — limiting the exposure window considerably in environments where 880 Gbps of switching capacity connects production servers. That gap in downtime tolerance is why most data center deployments default to Premium rather than Essential on infrastructure-tier switches.
DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner with access to FortiCare contracts across the FortiSwitch Data Center series. FC-10-S1E24-247-02-12 is delivered electronically to customers in Canada and worldwide, with same-day key delivery in most cases. Contact us if you are building out a FortiSwitch 1024E deployment with multiple units, or if you need co-term assistance to align contract expiry dates across your data center switching layer.
The FortiSwitch 1024E runs at 880 Gbps and connects servers at 10GbE. A hardware failure at the access or aggregation layer in a data center affects multiple servers simultaneously. FortiCare Premium’s next-business-day RMA means a replacement unit is dispatched immediately upon failure confirmation, which is the minimum acceptable response time for production compute infrastructure.
Yes. All firmware versions released for the FortiSwitch 1024E during the active contract period are accessible through the Fortinet Support Portal. This includes both general-availability releases and security patches. Access to firmware ends when the contract lapses unless a renewal is in place.
The FortiSwitch 1024E includes two 100GbE QSFP28/QSFP+ uplink ports in addition to the 24x 10GbE SFP+ ports. FortiCare Premium covers the entire unit, including the 100G uplinks. Any hardware failure across the switch — line ports or uplink ports — falls under the next-business-day RMA entitlement.
Yes. At the end of the 1-year contract, you can renew with another 1-year term or upgrade to a 3-year (FC-10-S1E24-247-02-36) or 5-year (FC-10-S1E24-247-02-60) contract for lower per-year cost. DataCenter360.ca can supply any term and assist with timing to avoid coverage gaps between the outgoing and incoming contracts.
Yes. This is an electronic license delivered to any country. DataCenter360.ca sends the activation key by email and you register it through the Fortinet Support Portal. There is no geographic restriction on the contract itself once it is registered to a FortiSwitch 1024E serial number. Most orders are processed same-day.
