Fortinet FortiSwitchRugged-424F-POE FortiCare Premium, 3-Year (FC-10-R24FP-247-02-36)

Three-year support contracts align naturally with the infrastructure planning cycles most OT and industrial networking teams operate on. Commissioning a FortiSwitchRugged-424F-POE in a substation or process control network on a 1-year contract means two renewal decisions during a typical equipment lifecycle. FC-10-R24FP-247-02-36 eliminates that overhead and locks in FortiCare Premium coverage for three years at a lower per-year cost.

What FortiCare Premium Covers Over Three Years

FortiCare Premium on the FortiSwitchRugged-424F-POE provides the same level of coverage each year of the 3-year term. FC-10-R24FP-247-02-36 includes:

• 24×7 telephone access to Fortinet TAC engineers for the full 3-year period
• 1-hour initial response SLA for P1 critical cases
• Advanced hardware replacement throughout: Fortinet ships a replacement before the failed unit is returned
• Firmware updates and security advisories for 3 years of coverage
• Fortinet support portal access and diagnostic tool access

Who Buys the 3-Year Contract

The 3-year term suits organizations that plan infrastructure in multi-year cycles: power utilities managing substation upgrades on 3 to 5-year schedules, transportation authorities deploying IEC 61850-3 compliant networks for a defined project duration, and process manufacturers where switching infrastructure supports production systems that run for years without major changes. Purchasing a 3-year contract at hardware commissioning avoids the overhead of tracking annual renewal dates across a fleet of FortiSwitchRugged units.
