FortiGate 40C End of Life

[Paul_Dean]

My account manager confirmed to me today that the FortiGate 40C is End of Life. You can still buy them, in packs of 10.

The recommended replacement is the FortiGate 30D.

Dear Paul

There is a link in support.fortinet.com with name "Product Life Cycle".

It shows that when Fortinet stops support of all models.

Your product is not in this list yet.I think it will be add tomorrow.

But because it's similar to  20C I copy details of this model from that link:

ProductLast Order Date (LOD) End of Order (EOO)Last Date to Extend Maintenance ContractsEnd-of-SupportFortiGate-20C2014-08-162018-08-162019-08-16

I think Fortinet stops producing this model today. But you still can have any order of this model for 2 or 3 month.

Also firmware supports will be continue after 4 years.

You can order any FortiGuard services until end of 2020.

It means "Product Life Cycle" .

Well, 

The product Lifecycle still doesn't show up the 40C model.

I'm also looking for information about the lifecycle of this model, but so far nothing...
