Fortinet FortiAnalyzer VM-S 5 GB/Day FortiAI, 4-Year (FC1-10-AZVMS-1118-01-48)

Organizations that run FortiAnalyzer VM-S as a long-term fixture in their security operations stack can lock in FortiAI coverage and fix subscription costs for four full years with FC1-10-AZVMS-1118-01-48. The 4-year term carries the lowest effective per-year cost in the VM-S FortiAI lineup and eliminates three renewal cycles, making it the right choice for teams with stable Fortinet deployments and predictable log volume at the 5 GB/Day tier. It is the most efficient option for organizations that treat FortiAnalyzer VM-S as a permanent part of their infrastructure.

Overview

FortiAI (service code 1118) is an add-on subscription that places a generative AI and LLM layer on top of FortiAnalyzer. SOC analysts gain natural-language querying of stored log data, automated incident triage summaries, contextual explanations of detected threats, and AI-generated response playbooks. These capabilities surface inside the existing FortiAnalyzer interface with no change to the underlying log collection, correlation, or reporting architecture, and no additional on-premises hardware is needed.

The 5 GB/Day cap identifies this as the VM-S small-tier subscription, covering deployments where daily log ingestion does not exceed 5 gigabytes. FortiAnalyzer VM-S itself runs on VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, and other standard hypervisors, requiring no dedicated appliance.

Who it suits

The 4-year term suits organizations that have validated FortiAI in production and are committed to AI-assisted SOC operations as a standing capability. Locking in four years removes annual renewal decisions from the workload of both IT and procurement teams, and consolidates FortiAI spend into a single purchase that aligns with longer capital planning cycles. Organizations looking to minimize total administrative overhead across a multi-product Fortinet deployment will find the 4-year commitment particularly efficient.

At the 5 GB/Day ingestion tier, this subscription fits smaller environments with up to roughly 50 to 100 network devices at standard logging verbosity. It is also appropriate for managed service providers that standardize FortiAnalyzer VM-S across multiple small client environments and want to minimize per-instance renewal overhead over a multi-year contract period.
