- Rapid on-site response and issue resolution — A four-hour on-site response for eligible incidents ensures rapid restoration of network services and security enforcement. Fortinet-certified technicians come prepared with the right tools, parts, and expertise to diagnose root causes, implement fixes, and validate that systems return to normal operation quickly. This reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and minimizes business disruption, which is especially critical for applications that rely on low latency and high availability. The rapid response also supports continuity during peak demand, regulatory audits, and incident investigations, helping maintain customer confidence and service reliability.
- Comprehensive coverage for Fortinet devices — The 1-year term encompasses a wide range of Fortinet devices within the Fortinet Security Fabric. From FortiGate firewalls that guard perimeters and data centers to FortiAnalyzer for security analytics, FortiManager for centralized control, FortiSwitch for scalable switching, and FortiAP for wireless access, the PRMA provides on-site support for both hardware and software components. Technicians can perform hardware replacements when needed, apply firmware and security updates, tune configurations for optimal performance, and conduct fleet-wide health checks to ensure interoperability across devices and platforms.
- Maintenance, firmware updates, and proactive health checks — Beyond reactive repairs, the PRMA emphasizes proactive maintenance. Scheduled health checks identify aging hardware, misconfigurations, or firmware drift before they become incidents. Technicians verify firmware compatibility, validate policy rules, review log settings, and confirm proper integration with Fortinet’s security fabric. Regular health checks help reduce risk exposure, improve threat detection accuracy, and ensure devices stay aligned with the latest security best practices. This proactive stance translates into better protection, higher performance, and more consistent operational outcomes across your Fortinet environment.
- Flexible scheduling and regional availability — Fortinet recognizes that networks operate on diverse timelines. The on-site service supports flexible scheduling, including visits during business hours or after-hours windows to minimize user impact. Availability varies by region and device type, but the program is designed to accommodate multi-site deployments, staggered visits, and priority scheduling for critical locations. This flexibility helps organizations align IT service delivery with business cycles, seasonal demands, and regulatory milestones, ensuring you receive timely support without disrupting daily operations.
- Simplified procurement and predictable costs — An all-inclusive annual fee covers on-site visits, technician time, remote assistance, and essential maintenance tasks, delivering budgeting predictability and eliminating surprise repair bills. The fixed-term pricing is especially valuable for organizations operating under strict procurement policies or quarterly budgeting cycles. Clients benefit from consistent service levels, clearer total cost of ownership, and a streamlined path to ongoing security operations, allowing teams to plan, invest, and evolve with confidence.
