United States (US) Authorized DistributorThree years is a realistic planning horizon for data center infrastructure, and FortiCare Premium on the FortiSwitch-T1024E (FC-10-T1E24-247-02-36) locks in 24/7 engineer access, a 1-hour response SLA, and ship-first hardware replacement for that entire period. You get budget certainty and your ops team gets one less renewal to track each year.

FortiCare Premium on the FortiSwitch-T1024E activates four support capabilities Fortinet’s Essential tier does not include:
Firmware updates, security advisories, and portal tools are included at all FortiCare tiers. The table below shows where Premium sits relative to Essential and Elite:
| Essential | Premium | Elite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 1-hour SLA | 1-hour SLA |
| Telephone support (24×7) | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Advanced hardware replacement | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Priority RMA add-on eligibility | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Firmware, tools & portal access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal | — | — | — |
Any team running the FortiSwitch-T1024E as an active top-of-rack or distribution layer switch should consider FortiCare Premium before the unit goes into production. At 880 Gbps of switching capacity with ~1µs latency, this switch sits in a critical path — a fault without advance replacement authorization means unplanned downtime. Data centers, colocation providers, and enterprise IT teams that can’t afford a next-week resolution timeline are the natural fit.
This is an electronic contract. After purchase, you receive an entitlement key via email — typically within one business day. Register it in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com), bind it to your FortiSwitch-T1024E’s serial number, and coverage is active. No hardware shipment, no customs, no installation. The 3 years term begins on the activation date.
Other term options for the same FortiCare Premium coverage are available in 1-year and 5-year contracts — listed in the upsell section on this page. If your organization does not need 24/7 telephone support, FortiCare Essential is the alternative; it includes firmware, security advisories, and web support without the phone line or 1-hour SLA.
As a Fortinet Select Partner, DataCenter360.ca provides FortiCare contracts with direct electronic delivery. The 3-year Premium term for the FortiSwitch-T1024E (FC-10-T1E24-247-02-36) eliminates three separate renewal windows and keeps your coverage current without gaps. Order today and receive your activation key within one business day.
FortiCare Premium adds 24/7 telephone support, a 1-hour critical-issue response SLA, and advanced hardware replacement to the base FortiCare capabilities. Firmware updates, security advisories, and the Fortinet Support Portal are available at all tiers.
Three years aligns well with standard equipment refresh cycles and gives you a stable support budget for that period. You avoid two separate annual renewal windows and the cost per year is lower than the 1-year rate. The 5-year term goes further if the hardware refresh horizon is longer.
After your order is processed, you receive an entitlement key by email, normally within one business day. Log in to support.fortinet.com, register the key against your FortiSwitch-T1024E’s serial number, and the 3 years coverage period starts immediately. No physical product ships.
Yes. FortiCare Premium makes the T1024E eligible for optional Priority RMA add-ons — either 4-hour hardware delivery (FC-10-T1E24-211) or 4-hour hardware plus onsite engineer (FC-10-T1E24-212). These are separate SKUs and require an active Premium contract.
Essential provides web-based support access, firmware downloads, and security advisories. Premium adds 24/7 telephone access to a Fortinet engineer, a 1-hour response SLA for critical issues, and advanced hardware replacement (ship-first logistics). For switches in production environments, Premium is the standard recommendation.
