If you need shared access to the data, NFS is probably the simplest way
to go.  Depending on how busy things are, you might be fine with
standard gig links as well.

If you don't need shared access, iSCSI/ATAoE, etc become an option (you
could use them with a clustered filesystem also if you needed shared
access, but this adds a layer of complexity).

Maybe you can define your use case a bit more.
