Fortinet FortiAnalyzer 300G (100 GB/Day) Secure RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-L03HG-301-02-60)

A FortiAnalyzer 300G is typically deployed for five or more years, and maintaining chain-of-custody documentation for hardware replacement across that entire window is a firm requirement in many regulated environments. FC-10-L03HG-301-02-60 covers the full 60-month service life of the appliance under a single Secure RMA purchase, eliminating the risk of a lapsed add-on during a hardware fault. At 100 GB/Day log ingestion, the FortiAnalyzer 300G accumulates substantial operational data; a gap in Secure RMA coverage at the moment of a failure is a compliance exposure, not just an administrative inconvenience.

Overview

Secure RMA (service code 301) extends FortiCare Premium or Elite with a certified storage-wipe or physical destruction step before any replacement unit ships, and issues destruction documentation suitable for compliance records. This 5-year add-on remains active for 60 months from the activation date, matching the practical service life of most FortiAnalyzer 300G deployments. FortiCare Essential does not include Priority RMA eligibility; the comparison table below shows how the three FortiCare tiers differ on hardware replacement and response times.

Who it suits

The 5-year term is the right choice for organizations where hardware disposition is governed by regulation across the full asset lifecycle. Government agencies operating under NIST SP 800-88 media sanitization requirements or FISMA controls, financial institutions that must track hardware chain-of-custody from initial deployment through decommission, and healthcare systems running multi-year infrastructure contracts with defined end-of-life disposal procedures all benefit from locking in coverage at the point of appliance purchase. IT procurement teams that prefer one renewal event per appliance per lifecycle, rather than annual add-on renewals, will also find the 5-year term reduces audit-period overhead.
