Fortinet FortiAuthenticator 3000F Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-AC3KF-210-02-12)

A 1-year coverage term for the FortiAuthenticator 3000F Next Calendar Day Priority RMA matches the rhythm of annual IT budgets and 12-month support renewal cycles. When the appliance fails, Fortinet ships a replacement unit before the end of the next calendar day, not the next business day, cutting recovery time on a platform that supports up to 60,000 local users, 60,000 remote users, and 12 Gbps of authentication traffic. SKU FC-10-AC3KF-210-02-12 carries that protection for a single calendar year from the activation date, keeping annual renewal decisions straightforward and procurement uncomplicated.

Overview

Next Calendar Day Priority RMA (service code 210) is a FortiCare add-on service, not a standalone support contract. It must be paired with an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite base contract on the same FortiAuthenticator 3000F serial number. FortiCare Essential contracts are not eligible for this upgrade. The core benefit is dispatch timing: under standard advanced replacement, Fortinet targets next-business-day shipping; under Priority RMA, the replacement ships before the next calendar day, covering weekends and public holidays equally. The service is e-delivered worldwide and activates against the appliance serial number. There is no physical component to this SKU.

Who it suits

The 1-year term is the right choice for organizations that review hardware support contracts annually alongside software license renewals. IT teams at financial institutions, healthcare providers, and managed service providers who rely on the FortiAuthenticator 3000F as the central authentication authority for VPN access, zero-trust network access, or enterprise-wide multi-factor authentication have strong reason to prioritize next-calendar-day replacement: an authentication outage on this appliance cascades immediately to every dependent user. The 1-year term also preserves flexibility for teams expecting to upgrade the 3000F within 24 months or that are mid-negotiation on a longer Fortinet agreement and prefer not to pre-commit support budgets further ahead than one fiscal year.
