Fortinet FortiSIEM Cloud Subscription, 1-Year (FC-10-SMCLD-542-02-12)

Security teams running FortiSIEM Cloud often exhaust the active-storage window before forensic investigations close or compliance audits complete their review. This 1-Year Optional Archive Storage subscription adds 500 GB of archive capacity per unit to an existing FortiSIEM Cloud deployment, keeping historical log and event records indexed and searchable for the full subscription year. The annual term lets you reassess the unit count at each renewal based on actual data volumes rather than committing to a multi-year estimate up front, which is particularly useful when a deployment is still growing or changing.

Overview

FortiSIEM archive storage holds event data that has aged out of the active query tier, making it available for compliance reporting, incident retrospectives, and long-term threat hunting without requiring a separate export to an external data store. Each unit in this subscription contributes 500 GB of archive space per subscription year. The license is delivered electronically with no hardware component. Once applied to a FortiSIEM Cloud instance, archived data is queryable through the standard FortiSIEM interface using the same search and correlation workflows used for current events. Because the archived data remains indexed, analysts can investigate historical records without switching tools or requesting a data restore from a cold archive tier. This add-on is complementary to the base FortiSIEM Cloud license and is not a standalone product.

Who it suits

The 1-Year term is a practical choice for organizations in the early stages of a FortiSIEM Cloud deployment who are still measuring how much log data their sources actually generate. It also fits environments where compliance frameworks specify a twelve-month retention period, making an annual subscription fully sufficient without paying for capacity beyond the mandate. Security teams that prefer to evaluate storage utilization before committing to a longer term will find the annual renewal cycle a straightforward starting point. At renewal, units can be added or removed to match observed usage, giving operations teams flexibility that longer-term commitments do not provide.
