FORTINET FC-10-FVM16-963-02-36 FortiGate VM16 3 Year Unified Threat Protection

FC-10-FVM16-963-02-36 Procurement Record

FC-10-FVM16-963-02-36 is a 3 year legacy Unified Threat Protection service entitlement for one existing, licensed FortiGate VM16. It is not a FortiGate VM license, deployable image, cloud instance, physical appliance or compute subscription.

Before Approval

A three-year commitment spans several maintenance cycles. Schedule a midpoint review for registration, capacity, software support, cloud or hypervisor changes and the funded migration decision; preserve quote-defined dates across ownership changes.

For this three-year VM16 line, preserve capacity baselines and service ownership across infrastructure changes. Midpoint evidence should test cluster recovery, log ingestion and emergency policy deployment. A move between private and public cloud must include explicit license and entitlement validation rather than a copied VM image alone.

• Match platform token FVM16 and the registered virtual serial.
• Confirm 36 months from the authorized quote and current expiry record.
• Verify the FortiCare account, deployment platform, FortiOS version and base VM license separately.
• Check for overlapping legacy UTP, current UTP, Enterprise or marketplace coverage.
• Record HA, backup, event-retention and signature-update ownership.

VM Capacity Tier

Fortinet documents FortiGate VM16 for up to 16 vCPUs; actual performance depends on the deployment platform and traffic mix. It is a sixteen-vCPU high-capacity virtual firewall tier. VM16 requires a production-grade capacity and resilience record. Preserve performance baselines, east-west and north-south traffic roles, cluster membership, log-retention architecture and emergency-change authority. ATP is a security entitlement; it neither provides the underlying compute host nor replaces recovery engineering.

VM16 evidence should retain a capacity baseline for each traffic direction, cluster recovery timing and the owner of emergency inspection bypass. A large entitlement must correspond to an actively governed high-capacity deployment.

Included Protection

UTP combines the ATP foundation with URL/DNS filtering, video filtering and anti-botnet/C2 services. The page does not claim Enterprise-only DLP, IoT or attack-surface capabilities.
