Fortinet FortiAuthenticator 3000F Secure RMA Service, 3-Year (FC-10-AC3KF-301-02-36)

Enterprise authentication infrastructure typically operates on a 3-to-5-year replacement cycle, and support contracts that match that rhythm reduce administrative overhead considerably. FC-10-AC3KF-301-02-36 provides 3 years of Secure RMA coverage for the FortiAuthenticator 3000F in a single purchase, eliminating annual renewal tasks and locking in hardware replacement protection across three budget cycles at once. For IT teams managing multiple FortiCare contracts, aligning a 3-year Secure RMA term with other multi-year subscriptions simplifies the renewal calendar and removes the risk of a lapse caused by a missed annual renewal.

Overview

Secure RMA ensures a replacement FortiAuthenticator 3000F unit ships before the defective appliance is returned to Fortinet, reducing the window during which 2FA, RADIUS, LDAP, and certificate services are at risk. This 3-year subscription maintains that protection continuously for three years from activation without requiring annual action. The service is offered at three coverage levels, each defining a different response commitment and escalation path:

Who it suits

The 3-year term is a strong match for organizations with stable authentication infrastructure and predictable refresh cycles. Finance and compliance teams often prefer multi-year contracts because they produce a single procurement event and a fixed cost that covers the full period. The AC3KF is sized for high-capacity enterprise environments, and a 3-year Secure RMA term reflects the expectation that the appliance will remain in active service for the duration of the subscription. It also suits organizations that consolidate renewal dates across their Fortinet portfolio, since a 3-year term aligns naturally with typical hardware refresh and software subscription windows.
