Product description

Most IT infrastructure planning runs on a three-year horizon: budget cycles, hardware refresh schedules, and vendor review windows all cluster around that interval. The 3-Year FortiCare Elite contract (FC-10-F108F-284-02-36) aligns your FortiSwitch 108F-FPOE support coverage with that planning rhythm, locking in Elite-tier service for the full period without the annual renewal overhead. Over three years you get continuous 24×7 TAC entitlement, advance hardware replacement, and a named account manager handling proactive check-ins, all under a single contract registered once against your FS-108F-FPOE serial number.

What it covers

FortiCare Elite (service code 284) is Fortinet’s highest standard support tier. The 3-Year term (FC-10-F108F-284-02-36) provides continuous 24×7 TAC access, next-business-day advance hardware replacement (a replacement unit ships before you return the failed switch), firmware updates and security patches for the entire 36-month period, and web-based case management. The Elite tier also includes a named support account manager who conducts quarterly health reviews and issues proactive firmware and advisory notifications relevant to your FS-108F-FPOE, catching potential issues before they become outages.

Who needs it

The 3-Year term suits organizations whose IT planning cycles run in three-year windows, including those aligned with hardware depreciation schedules or multi-year managed service agreements. It is a practical choice when the FortiSwitch 108F-FPOE is deployed in a role where annual renewals would require re-approval each year, such as in government, education, or enterprise environments with formal procurement processes. Teams that want the proactive engagement of Elite without committing to five years also find the 3-year term the right balance.

Activation & delivery

After purchase, Fortinet issues a license key by email. You register it in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) against the serial number of the FS-108F-FPOE unit. The 36-month coverage period starts on the registration date. No physical delivery occurs. DataCenter360.ca sends the key information to your order email address upon processing. TAC entitlement activates immediately after the contract is linked to the device. One registration step covers the full 3-year period, with no intermediate renewals required.

One service vs the bundle

FC-10-F108F-284-02-36 covers TAC support and hardware replacement for the FortiSwitch 108F-FPOE only. It does not include FortiGuard security subscription services such as Web Filtering, Intrusion Prevention, or Application Control. On FortiSwitch units managed through a FortiGate, security inspection subscriptions are typically held on the FortiGate side. If your FS-108F-FPOE operates in standalone mode and requires additional service components, those are purchased separately. This contract is the support layer for the switch hardware and TAC access, not a bundled multi-service package.

Orders are processed promptly and keys are delivered by email with no shipping delays.

Frequently asked questions

Does the 3-Year term provide any cost advantage over buying three consecutive 1-year contracts?
Purchasing a 3-year term in a single transaction reduces administrative effort and typically avoids any mid-cycle price increases that might apply at annual renewal. It also eliminates the risk of a coverage gap if a 1-year contract is not renewed before it lapses. Contact DataCenter360.ca to compare current pricing across term options.
What happens if the FortiSwitch 108F-FPOE unit is replaced with new hardware during the 3-year period?
FortiCare contracts are tied to the device serial number. If the hardware is replaced under the advance replacement entitlement, Fortinet transfers the remaining contract to the replacement unit’s serial number. If you replace the switch with a different unit outside of an RMA scenario, contact Fortinet support to discuss contract transfer or migration options.
What is advance hardware replacement under FortiCare Elite?
Advance replacement means Fortinet ships a replacement unit to you before you return the failed device. This minimizes downtime compared to return-to-factory (RMA) models where you ship first and wait. Under next-business-day advance replacement, Fortinet processes the shipment on the next business day following case approval.
Is the proactive account management component available from day one of the 3-year term?
Yes. The named support account manager and quarterly review entitlement are active from registration date for the full duration of the contract. You can contact your account manager to schedule the first health review after registering the contract.
Can this contract be purchased for a FortiSwitch 108F-FPOE that already has an active FortiCare contract?
Yes, as a renewal or co-term purchase. If an existing contract is active, the new term can be registered to extend coverage starting from the expiry date of the current contract. DataCenter360.ca can assist with renewal timing to avoid coverage gaps.
