Fortinet FortiCare Premium Support, 3-Year (FC5-10-0ACVM-248-02-36)

Managing annual support renewals for a large enterprise identity platform introduces recurring procurement overhead and the risk of a lapsed coverage window during negotiation. FC5-10-0ACVM-248-02-36 eliminates that friction by locking in three years of FortiCare Premium Support for a FortiAuthenticator VM tier 5 deployment (up to 50,100 users), giving IT and security teams a predictable, uninterrupted support horizon that aligns with typical three-year infrastructure planning cycles.

Overview

This 3-year FortiCare Premium Support contract covers the FortiAuthenticator VM platform at tier 5, which is licensed for up to 50,100 users. For the full 36-month term, the covered platform receives 24×7 TAC access by phone and web portal, all firmware and feature updates Fortinet releases for this product line, and advance hardware replacement entitlement. Three years of continuous coverage means the authentication infrastructure supporting MFA and SSO for a large enterprise workforce stays fully entitled to vendor support from the moment the contract activates through month 36, with no annual renewal gap to manage.

Who it suits

FC5-10-0ACVM-248-02-36 is best suited to large enterprise security teams that plan their identity infrastructure on a 3-year cycle and want to avoid the procurement overhead of annual renewals. Organizations that have stabilized at tier 5 user counts and do not expect to exceed 50,100 active users within the term will find a 3-year commitment cost-efficient compared to purchasing three consecutive 1-year contracts. It is also a strong fit for teams in industries with strict uptime requirements, where a lapsed support entitlement between renewal cycles is an unacceptable operational risk.
