Local Host Cache (LHC), in the context of the Citrix DaaS (Desktops-as-a-Service), can be thought of as an insurance policy. This insurance policy comes into play when, for whatever reason (outages, connection issues, internet blackouts and so on.), the Citrix Cloud Connectors are not able to communicate with the Citrix brokering service (part of Citrix DaaS and henceforth referred as the cloud broker). A communication breakdown between a resource location and the cloud broker can lead to end user impact – Local Host Cache is designed to mitigate such end user impact.
