IDT Solution
IDT delivered a comprehensive modernization solution tailored to the client’s hybrid network. The team began with a detailed audit of networking components across AWS and physical environments. Cisco ASA devices and switches were replaced with newer hardware, and AWS networking elements were restructured for clarity and security. Communication paths between AWS and on-premises environments were re-engineered to support encrypted site-to-site and user-level VPN access. Enhancements were also made to application-layer network flows and AWS load balancer configurations, ensuring tighter security controls and improved performance. Technologies used included EC2, VPC, Route 53, AWS CloudWatch, KMS, and Amazon S3.
HYBRID NETWORK MODERNIZATION AND CISCO ASA FIREWALL REPLACEMENT ACROSS AWS AND ONPREMISES INFRASTRUCTURE
Executive Summary
New Angle Systems LLC engaged Innovative Digital Transformation LLC (IDT) to audit and modernize its complex hybrid network environment. This environment spans AWS, a colocation facility, and an on-premises data center. The project focused on replacing outdated Cisco ASA firewalls and managed switches with modern, secure alternatives, while enhancing overall network architecture, security, and interconnectivity. The engagement also involved restructuring AWS networking components and strengthening the security of production application traffic, resulting in a more secure and efficient network infrastructure across all operational zones.

The Benefits
As a result of the engagement, New Angle Systems LLC now operates a significantly more secure, modern, and maintainable hybrid network infrastructure. Legacy hardware was successfully replaced, communication flows were streamlined, and AWS components were aligned with best practices. With strengthened VPN and load balancer security, the client improved compliance posture while ensuring stable and secure connectivity between AWS, colocation, and on-prem environments.
Modernizing our hybrid network infrastructure was a critical step toward strengthening operational security and reliability across our AWS, colocation, and on-prem environments. We sought to replace legacy Cisco ASA firewalls and streamline connectivity while aligning with best practices in cloud networking and security.
IDT LLC brought deep expertise and delivered a well-structured, secure solution. They conducted a full audit of our network stack, modernized key components, and re-architected our AWS environment with secure site-to-site and user-level VPN access. Their enhancements to our AWS load balancer security and overall communication paths have greatly improved our posture and operational confidence.
We appreciate IDT’s professionalism and commitment to quality throughout the engagement. They’ve proven to be a highly capable and trusted AWS services partner.
