What is Local Mode View Agent (offline virtual desktop) in VMware VDI?

Local Mode (offline desktop) allows users to download their virtual machine/desktop locally to their personal desktop/laptop.
This is local mode virtual machine that can be used even if the user is not in office or in office network. User can work on the virtual machine even if he/she is not connected to internet. Once the user back in office or in office network, all changes of the local mode VM get replicated with actual Virtual Desktop existing on the Server.

This replication takes place using view transfer server role of VMware VDI.
