Fortinet FortiAuthenticator 3000F Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-AC3KF-210-02-60)

A 5-year Next Calendar Day Priority RMA subscription for the FortiAuthenticator 3000F delivers the longest single-term hardware replacement coverage available for this appliance, spanning 60 months from a single purchase. Organizations planning to operate the 3000F, which supports up to 60,000 local users, 60,000 remote users, and 12 Gbps of authentication throughput, well beyond a three-year standard cycle will find that five-year coverage reduces renewal administration to a minimum. SKU FC-10-AC3KF-210-02-60 is e-delivered worldwide and activates against the appliance serial number. No physical component is involved in ordering; hardware ships only if and when the covered unit requires replacement.

Overview

Next Calendar Day Priority RMA (service code 210) is a FortiCare add-on that enhances hardware replacement timing on the FortiAuthenticator 3000F beyond what the base support contract provides. An active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract on the same serial number is required; FortiCare Essential does not qualify for this add-on. When the appliance is confirmed failed, Fortinet dispatches a replacement before the end of the next calendar day, including weekends and public holidays. The 5-year term spans 60 months from activation, delivered as an e-delivery subscription valid worldwide. The table below compares FortiCare service levels to clarify where this priority add-on fits relative to base contract entitlements.

Who it suits

Five-year coverage targets organizations that operate on extended procurement and depreciation schedules. Government agencies, regulated industries, and enterprises with slow capital-approval processes often keep appliances in service for five or more years; covering the FortiAuthenticator 3000F for the full expected lifespan eliminates renewal events and audit questions about lapsed coverage. Deployments where the 3000F functions as the sole authentication authority for large user populations across VPN, zero-trust access, and enterprise MFA justify maximum-term RMA coverage, because the cost of any authentication outage scales directly with user count. Multi-unit deployments where downtime on a single appliance creates cascading access failures benefit equally from the assurance that five-year coverage provides.
