Fortinet FortiMail-VM Base Bundle Subscription, 1-Year (FC4-10-FEVVS-646-02-12)

A 1-Year Base Bundle Subscription for the FC4 FortiMail-VM tier activates threat-intelligence updates and FortiCare support on the 8-vCPU FortiMail-VM for a full calendar year. The FC4 plan is the higher-capacity tier, designed for large organizations and high-throughput email workloads where the mid-range 4-vCPU FC3 tier would be undersized. An annual term lets large enterprises align subscription costs with their yearly IT budget cycle while retaining the option to move to a longer commitment at each renewal point.

Overview

The Base Bundle is the mandatory operating subscription for any FortiMail-VM instance. It delivers FortiGuard Antispam signatures to filter inbound and outbound spam, FortiGuard Antivirus definitions to detect malware in email attachments and links, and FortiCare technical support access for the duration of the term. The FC4 plan tier targets the 8-vCPU FortiMail-VM, the high-throughput configuration for large organizational mail flows. Without an active Base Bundle subscription the VM loses access to threat-intelligence updates and Fortinet support.

Who it suits

Large organizations running the 8-vCPU FortiMail-VM on VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, KVM, or public-cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and GCP are the primary audience for the FC4 tier. The 1-Year term suits enterprises that review their email security infrastructure annually, that operate under yearly IT budget cycles, or that are piloting FortiMail-VM at high-throughput scale before committing to a multi-year subscription.
