Fortinet FortiAnalyzer 150G (25 GB/Day) Secure RMA, 3-Year (FC-10-L150G-301-02-36)

Many regulated organizations run annual compliance audits while replacing security appliances on a 3-to-5 year cycle. Secure RMA (service code 301) for the FortiAnalyzer 150G (25 GB/Day) bridges that planning horizon by locking in verified media-handling coverage for three full years. If the appliance fails at any point during that period, Fortinet physically destroys the storage drive or returns it under documented chain of custody before shipping the replacement unit. The 3-year term removes the annual renewal decision for Secure RMA entirely, keeps your data-disposal documentation consistent across multiple audit cycles, and ensures there is no gap year where media-custody coverage lapses between purchases.

Overview

Secure RMA (service code 301) adds a media-handling guarantee to the standard hardware replacement process. When the FortiAnalyzer 150G appliance fails during the 3-year coverage period, Fortinet arranges physical destruction or documented chain-of-custody return of the storage media before the replacement unit ships. Operating at 25 GB/Day of log throughput, the appliance processes a significant volume of event data from financial, healthcare, or government environments over three years; Secure RMA ensures that none of that stored data escapes custody at the hardware replacement stage. The 3-year window also means a single entitlement covers the appliance across multiple annual compliance audits without any re-purchase. The comparison below places this add-on in context against FortiCare service tiers; FortiCare Premium or Elite on the same appliance is required.

Who it suits

The 3-year entitlement is the right fit for organizations mid-way through a deployment cycle that need consistent media-custody assurance spanning multiple annual audits without re-purchasing annually. Financial institutions with rolling audit cycles, healthcare organizations subject to multi-year data retention mandates, and government agencies with 3-year procurement structures all benefit from a single entitlement covering the full window. Unlike the 1-year option, the 3-year term avoids year-by-year renewal overhead and keeps Secure RMA in uninterrupted force across audit periods. An active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite base contract on the FortiAnalyzer 150G is required.
