It used to be used to store documentation data but we no longer use it like that.

The IT people said it would be easier to run a mass firewall and keep all computers malware/virus software updated.

I was skeptical about this. While it may make it easier, it wouldn't be impossible to impose firewall sanctions and keep virus software updated

Do you use it for HIPAA style group policies?

With the data being elsewhere, not sure the backup functionality on the workstations would be as needed, but also a plus.

I'm guessing you guys are running AD on the server. Are you guys using roaming profiles? Any Group Policy stuff? Exchange? Do you like the way things are set up now? Costs an issue?

I'm not 100% where the firewall comes into this though. While my HIPAA experience isn't very deep, you should be running a good firewall anyhow. If you already have a sufficient one in place, not sure why you need to buy a new one unless I'm misunderstanding something.
