Three years of uninterrupted Elite support means two fewer renewal events and one fewer opportunity for a lapsed contract to leave a fiber aggregation switch uncovered. FC-10-S424I-284-02-36 covers the FortiSwitch 424E-Fiber for the full 36-month period under Fortinet’s highest care tier, with 24×7 TAC, Next Business Day replacement, and a designated support team at every point in that window. For enterprise environments with stable switch deployments and multi-year capital plans, this term aligns support cost to the switch’s service life without requiring annual re-budgeting.
FortiCare Elite (service code 284) provides 24×7 TAC access by phone and online portal, Next Business Day hardware replacement for the FS-424E-Fiber, advanced RMA handling, and a dedicated account support team for three consecutive years. Over a 3-year period, a designated TAC team builds familiarity with your deployment specifics, which can reduce diagnostic time during high-severity events. The Elite tier exceeds FortiCare Premium (247) by adding enhanced SLA commitments and a named escalation contact. This contract is scoped to the FortiSwitch 424E-Fiber serial number; FortiLink management via a FortiGate is covered by the FortiGate’s own contract.
Network teams managing fiber distribution layers in campus buildings, MDFs, or inter-building links typically treat the FS-424E-Fiber as a long-lived infrastructure fixture. A 3-year support contract matches those organizations’ procurement rhythm: one purchase order closes the asset and its support in a single capital event, and the entitlement remains visible in FortiCare portal for the full period without annual follow-up. Teams on 3-year hardware depreciation schedules find this term lines up with switch end-of-depreciation exactly, after which refresh and renewal decisions can be made together.
FC-10-S424I-284-02-36 is an electronic license with global delivery. Fortinet emails the license key after order processing, typically within one business day. You activate it in the FortiCare portal against the FS-424E-Fiber serial number, and the 36-month Elite entitlement begins from that activation date. No physical goods are shipped. Delivery and support coverage are available to customers worldwide.
This SKU covers FortiCare Elite support only: TAC, Next Business Day hardware replacement, and advanced RMA. The FortiSwitch 424E-Fiber does not carry its own FortiGuard security subscription; policy enforcement flows from the FortiGate controller via FortiLink, and those security entitlements are licensed on the controller. Purchasing switch support and FortiGate security subscriptions on separate contracts lets each renew on its own schedule, keeping a FortiSwitch support renewal from being tied to a larger FortiGate licensing event.
