Fortinet FortiAuthenticator 3000F Secure RMA Service, 5-Year (FC-10-AC3KF-301-02-60)

For organizations that have standardized on the FortiAuthenticator 3000F as a committed long-term authentication platform, FC-10-AC3KF-301-02-60 offers the maximum Secure RMA coverage window available for this appliance in a single purchase. Five years of advance-replacement protection at the lowest annualized rate of the three available terms eliminates any renewal consideration until the appliance approaches the end of its planned service life. This is the appropriate choice when the FortiAuthenticator 3000F is deeply embedded in production infrastructure, not a candidate for near-term replacement, and continuity of hardware support is a governance requirement rather than an annual budget decision.

Overview

Secure RMA covers the FortiAuthenticator 3000F by guaranteeing Fortinet ships a replacement unit before the defective appliance is returned, keeping 2FA, RADIUS, LDAP, and certificate authority services available through the replacement process. At the 5-year term, this protection extends across the full planned service life of a typical enterprise deployment without any renewal action required. The service is structured at three coverage levels, each with distinct response and escalation commitments:

Who it suits

The 5-year term is the right choice for mature deployments where the FortiAuthenticator 3000F is integrated into network access control, VPN authentication, or internal certificate issuance workflows and is not expected to be replaced within five years. Large enterprises that negotiate multi-year service agreements, and organizations with governance or audit requirements for documented hardware support coverage over a defined period, will find this SKU the most administratively efficient option. At the 5-year term, the annualized cost of Secure RMA coverage for the AC3KF is lower than either the 1-year or 3-year alternatives.
