Flooding takes the riverside civic datacenter offline. What does disaster recovery for VDI mean here?

Disaster recovery for a flooded riverside datacenter means recovering brokers and desktop images inland or in cloud—not restoring one clerk laptop from USB. In municipal EUC terms, treat the endpoint as a window into city systems when the architecture says so, not as the system of record for the files or apps in the stem. Distractor concept: USB restore of one laptop is not site recovery for the pod. Distractor concept: Moving UAG into the DMZ does not recover a flooded site. Distractor concept: Enabling DRS on underwater hosts cannot continue desktops at a failed site. Exam caveat: DR is second-site recovery of brokers/images; USB, DMZ shuffle, and DRS are not site DR. Operational check: Rehearse bringing Connection Server config and golden images up at the inland site and redirecting clerks there. Record the chosen control and the rejected failure modes in the civic change ticket or runbook so on-call staff and auditors share the same rationale after the next maintenance window. Re-validate after personnel or image changes that the same control still meets the city's continuity, security, and support expectations for this service. Helpdesk coaching tip aligned to the conversational brief: A flood is a whole-building problem, not a lost USB stick. DR means standing the brokers and golden images up inland or in cloud, then sending clerks there. Sliding UAG into a DMZ does not rebuild a drowned site.
