Fortinet FortiSIEM Cloud Subscription, 5-Year (FC-10-SMCLD-542-02-60)

Organizations in regulated industries frequently face retention mandates measured in years rather than months, and recurring storage renewals become a friction point when the required retention window is fixed well in advance. This 5-Year Optional Archive Storage subscription provides 500 GB of archive capacity per FortiSIEM Cloud unit for each year of the five-year term, eliminating four annual renewal cycles compared to purchasing year by year. For security teams with an established FortiSIEM Cloud footprint and stable, predictable log volumes, the 5-Year term converts a recurring operational task into a single planned procurement decision and delivers the lowest annual cost of the three available terms.

Overview

FortiSIEM archive storage extends the searchable data horizon beyond the standard hot-storage window, keeping historical log and event records available for compliance audits, incident investigations, and long-duration threat-hunting programs. Each unit in this subscription adds 500 GB of archive space per year for the full five-year term. The license is delivered electronically with no hardware component. Once applied to a FortiSIEM Cloud instance, archived data is accessible through the standard query interface using the same search and correlation tools applied to current events. Retention continuity across the entire term means records from year one remain searchable in year five without manual data migration or re-ingestion, preserving the evidentiary chain that compliance and forensics workflows require.

Who it suits

The 5-Year term is designed for organizations in sectors with long statutory or regulatory retention requirements, including financial services firms, healthcare providers, and critical infrastructure operators subject to frameworks that mandate five or more years of security event data. It also suits mature FortiSIEM Cloud deployments where log source count and data volume are stable, making long-term storage planning straightforward. Procurement teams working within multi-year budget cycles benefit from a known, fixed cost for the full period with no exposure to annual price adjustments at renewal, and with no renewal coordination required for the duration of the term.
