What does Local Host Cache provide during a Citrix Cloud connectivity loss?

• A. It allows brokering new sessions and manages existing HDX connections
• B. It disconnects users until connectivity is restored
• C. It uses the Cloud Connectors to broker sessions
• D. It redirects users to StoreFront for access

Answer: (A)

Local Host Cache provides a local brokering capability so that, when Citrix Cloud connectivity is lost, the delivery infrastructure can continue to work. It keeps a local copy of the broker data on the VDAs/Delivery Controllers, which lets the system broker new sessions and manage existing HDX connections without needing the cloud-based broker. This keeps users connected to published apps and desktops until cloud connectivity is restored. It does not rely on Cloud Connectors for this outage scenario and it does not redirect users to StoreFront.
