EMC VxRail Appliance with VxRail 4.0.400-6628128 on 160F.
The TOE is a software and hardware product, which provides a software defined
data center that can support hundreds virtual machines and their associated data.
Developer/manufacturer: Dell Technologies, Inc.
Sponsor: Dell Technologies, Inc.
Certification Body: Centro Criptológico Nacional (CCN).
ITSEF: Epoche & Espri S.L.U.
Protection Profile: None.
Evaluation Level: EAL 2 + ALC_FLR.2.
Evaluation end date: 17/04/2018.
All the assurance components required by the evaluation level EAL 2 (augmented
with ALC_FLR.2) have been assigned a “PASS” verdict. Consequently, the
laboratory Epoche & Espri S.L.U assigns the “PASS” VERDICT to the whole
evaluation due all the evaluator actions are satisfied for the EAL 2, as defined by the
Common Criteria v3.1 R4 and the CEM v3.1 R4.
Considering the obtained evidences during the instruction of the certification request
of the product Dell EMC VxRail Appliance with VxRail 4.0.400-6628128 on 160 and
Dell EMC VxRail Appliance with VxRail 4.0.400-6628128 on 160F, a positive
resolution is proposed.
TOE SUMMARY
VxRail appliances are built to provide all mission-critical services for a SDDC,
including virtualization, compute, and storage. Full integration with VMware’s
vSphere, and Virtual SAN (vSAN) provide the backbone of the appliance. The
appliances are deployed in clusters ranging from 4 to 16 nodes. A node provides
computation for the appliance and contains multiple processors. Each 2U appliance
includes the 4-node base that is required for cluster operations. A single appliance
can support up to 200 virtual machines (VMs). VxRail’s hyper-converged
infrastructure provides customer VMs with the power of an entire Storage Attached
Network (SAN) in a single appliance.
Hyper-convergence is an emerging technology that refers to complete systems that
provide compute resources for running a VM infrastructure and shared storage for
use by VMs. Hyper-converged solutions run entirely on x86 servers with commodity
internal solid-state and hard-disk drives for storage. Customers deploy the system as

Y PARA LAS ADMINISTRACIONES TERRITORIALES
appliances that scale in a linear fashion; each node added to a VxRail cluster
contributes a fixed amount of computational power and storage capacity. Hyper-
convergence relies on software-defined storage as an underlying technology that is
provided by VMware vSphere and vSAN. This software-defined storage allows the
storage within individual servers to be shared across every node in a VxRail cluster.

SECURITY POLICIES
There are no Security Policies imposed upon the TOE or its operational
environment.
ASSUMPTIONS AND OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
The following assumptions are constraints to the conditions used to assure the
security properties and functionalities compiled by the security target. These
assumptions have been applied during the evaluation in order to determine if the
identified vulnerabilities can be exploited.
In order to assure the secure use of the TOE, it is necessary to start from these
assumptions for its operational environment. If this is not possible and any of them
could not be assumed, it would not be possible to assure the secure operation of the
TOE.
The detail of these assumptions is documented in the Security Target, section 3.3.

The following threats do not suppose a risk for the product Dell EMC VxRail
Appliance with VxRail 4.0.400-6628128 on 160 and Dell EMC VxRail Appliance with
VxRail 4.0.400-6628128 on 160F, although the agents implementing attacks have
the attack potential according to the BASIC of EAL 2 and always fulfilling the usage
assumptions and the proper security policies satisfaction.
For any other threat not included in this list, the evaluation results of the product
security properties and the associated certificate, do not guarantee any resistance.
The detail of these threats is documented in the Security Target, section 3.1.
OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FUNCTIONALITY

PRODUCT TESTING
The developer has executed test for all the security functions. All the tests have been
performed by the developer in its premises, with a satisfactory result.
During the evaluation process it has been verified each unit test checking that the
security functionality that covers is been identified and also that the kind of test is
appropriate to the function that is intended to test.
All the tests have been developed using the testing scenario appropriate to the
established architecture in the security target. It has also been checked that the
obtained results during the tests fit or correspond to the previously estimated results.
To verify the results of the developer tests, the evaluator has repeated all the
developer functional tests in the developer premises. Likewise, he has selected and
repeated all the developer functional tests in the testing platform implemented in the
evaluation laboratory.
In addition, the lab has devised a test for each of the security functions of the product
verifying that the obtained results are consistent with the results obtained by the
developer.
It has been checked that the obtained results conform to the expected results and in
the cases where a deviation, in respect to the expected results, was present, the
evaluator has confirmed that this variation neither represents any security problem
nor a decrease in the functional capacity of the product.

RECOGNITION AGREEMENTS
In order to avoid multiple certification of the same product in different countries a
mutual recognition of IT security certificates - as far as such certificates are based on
ITSEC or CC - under certain conditions was agreed.
European Recognition of ITSEC/CC – Certificates (SOGIS-MRA)
The SOGIS-Mutual Recognition Agreement (SOGIS-MRA) Version 3 became
effective in April 2010. It defines the recognition of certificates for IT-Products at a
basic recognition level and, in addition, at higher recognition levels for IT-Products
related to certain SOGIS Technical Domains only.
The basic recognition level includes Common Criteria (CC) Evaluation Assurance
Levels EAL 1 to EAL 4 and ITSEC Evaluation Assurance Levels E1 to E3 (basic).
For "Smartcards and similar devices" a SOGIS Technical Domain is in place. For
"HW Devices with Security Boxes" a SOGIS Technical Domains is in place, too. In
addition, certificates issued for Protection Profiles based on Common Criteria are
part of the recognition agreement.
The new agreement has been signed by the national bodies of Austria, Finland,
France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United
Kingdom. The current list of signatory nations and approved certification schemes,
details on recognition, and the history of the agreement can be seen on the website
at https://www.sogis.org.
The SOGIS-MRA logo printed on the certificate indicates that it is recognised under
the terms of this agreement by the nations listed above.
The certificate of this TOE is recognized under SOGIS-MRA for all assurance
components selected.
International Recognition of CC – Certificates (CCRA)
The international arrangement on the mutual recognition of certificates based on the
CC (Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement, CCRA-2014) has been ratified on
08 September 2014. It covers CC certificates based on collaborative Protection
Profiles (cPP) (exact use), CC certificates based on assurance components up to
and including EAL 2 or the assurance family Flaw Remediation (ALC_FLR) and CC
certificates for Protection Profiles and for collaborative Protection Profiles (cPP).
The CCRA-2014 replaces the old CCRA signed in May 2000 (CCRA-2000).
Certificates based on CCRA-2000, issued before 08 September 2014 are still under
recognition according to the rules of CCRA-2000. For on 08 September 2014
ongoing certification procedures and for Assurance Continuity (maintenance and re-
certification)of old certificates a transition period on the recognition of certificates
according to the rules of CCRA-2000 (i.e. assurance components up to and including
Página 12 de 12

EAL 4 or the assurance family Flaw Remediation (ALC_FLR)) is defined until 08
September 2017.
As of September 2014 the signatories of the new CCRA-2014 are government
representatives from the following nations: Australia, Austria, Canada, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy,
Japan, Malaysia, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Republic of
Korea, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States.
The current list of signatory nations and approved certification schemes can be seen
on the website: http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org.
The Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement logo printed on the certificate
indicates that this certification is recognised under the terms of this agreement by the
nations listed above.
The certificate of this TOE is recognized under SOGIS-MRA for all assurance
components selected.
