FortiCare Premium Support

FortiCare Premium covers the same features as the former FortiCare Support. Therefore, FortiCare Premium is suitable for devices that require a response within one hour for both critical and non-critical issues 24x7x365.

With FortiCare Premium Support, you receive first-class manufacturer support for your Fortinet solutions. An active FortiCare license allows you to install firmware updates for your Fortinet appliance directly via the device.

The FortiCare services support the entire Fortinet Security Fabric, enabling you to resolve various cross-product issues with a single solution. Flexible support options help your organization maximize uptime, security, and performance according to your business requirements.

On request, we can also offer you FortiCare Essentials or FortiCare Elite. The features of each license are listed in the following table.

In addition, a Fortinet technician can also install the replacement device at your site without sending it in advance.
