Fortinet FortiCare Premium Support, 3-Year (FC8-10-0ACVM-248-02-36)

When the FortiAuthenticator VM deployment supporting up to 25,100 users is part of a stable, multi-year infrastructure plan, a 3-year FortiCare Premium contract removes annual renewal overhead and ensures uninterrupted coverage. FC8-10-0ACVM-248-02-36 consolidates 36 months of Fortinet TAC access, firmware rights, and host hardware replacement into a single electronic entitlement available worldwide.

Overview

FortiAuthenticator VM (model code 0ACVM) centralizes identity services including MFA, RADIUS, SAML, LDAP, and guest portal access on a virtual appliance deployed within your own hypervisor environment. The tier 8 capacity band supports up to 25,100 user identities, addressing medium to large enterprise network authentication requirements without the infrastructure cost of a dedicated physical appliance. FortiCare Premium (service code 248) for a 36-month term provides 24×7 TAC escalation paths, firmware update rights for all releases during the three years, and advanced hardware replacement coverage for the physical host. The license is fulfilled electronically with worldwide delivery.

Who it suits

Organizations with consistent user populations within the 25,100-identity ceiling and predictable budget cycles find the 3-year term efficient. It reduces the number of renewal touchpoints compared to annual contracts and locks in support coverage across multiple project phases. IT security teams managing an identity governance program on FortiAuthenticator particularly value this term length because authentication infrastructure uptime depends directly on continuous support entitlement. The 3-year commitment also simplifies vendor management for organizations that prefer consolidated multi-year agreements over recurring single-year approvals.
