NIS should handle all the unix hosts. Throw RADIUS or TAC+ for you network equipment and your set.
Now, I've heard of some projects to tie in NIS with Windows AD, but I've not seen much news recently. Wasn't it called gaynimead or something?
Radius resources...RFC 2865 and 2866. www.open.com.au great perl based radius I've used before and it's great. Support TACACS and TAC+ to, for you cisco types. www.funk.com is good, and livingston radius (now it's lucent) is decent also.
Hence the snapmirror to move the data over over 4 hours. And have the second box, dedicated to some large tape library. So really this would only work if the second box can backup pretty fast. 2TB/hr, which I think is faster then any tape jukebox that I know of..
Unless, we separate the data in 4 quadrents, then handle it with divide and conquer, with netapp boxes, and tape backup.

1) Cheaper!
2) YOU get to manage it!
3) Hella faster
Plus it can store 12TB clustered. Dedicate one system to backups, and one to taking live data, and move the data over from one to the other with snapmirror every 4 hours, and your done.
