Fortinet FortiSIEM HA Cluster, 4500 Points Subscription, 1-Year (FCD-10-FSM98-593-02-12)

High-availability SIEM at the scale of the FSM-98 requires uninterrupted licensing. This 1-year subscription renews the 4500-Points capacity ceiling on a two-node FortiSIEM 98 HA Cluster, keeping the active/passive or active/active pair licensed to collect, correlate, and respond to security events. A 1-year term aligns licensing renewal with your annual security budget cycle and gives your team a defined review point each year to reassess capacity or term options.

Overview

The FortiSIEM 98 is Fortinet’s highest-capacity SIEM appliance. In HA Cluster mode, two FSM-98 nodes share workload and state so a single-node failure does not interrupt SIEM operations. The 4500 Points subscription defines the aggregate licensed capacity, governing monitored device count, events per second (EPS), or collector node count depending on your deployment configuration. This subscription must remain active to maintain cluster operation and access to FortiSIEM features including real-time correlation, incident management, UEBA, and compliance reporting. The 1-year term covers both cluster nodes under a single entitlement activated on purchase. It is a pure software subscription: no hardware ships, and the license is delivered electronically to any location worldwide.

Who it suits

This subscription fits large enterprises and MSSPs running FortiSIEM at top-tier scale who prefer annual renewal. Organizations with yearly budget approval cycles, or those that want to re-evaluate capacity tiers, deployment architecture, or vendor agreements each year, benefit from the 1-year term. It is also appropriate when a longer multi-year commitment is not yet internally authorized; the annual term keeps the cluster fully licensed while extended planning proceeds.
