# Commvault Flex Appliance Architecture - Direct Client-to-S3 with Storage Accelerator

Use this deployment model when the client and S3 target are on the same network, or when the client can directly reach the storage endpoint. Backup traffic goes directly from the client to S3, while the Flex node continues to manage metadata and library operations.

To configure storage accelerator, please follow the steps in Accelerating Backups to Cloud Storage Libraries.
