How to access two servers that are not connected to each other

Two companies have two servers, currently connecting to the internet and
their network via the same router.

I need to separate these two servers, but there are still some users that
need to connect to both servers.

How do I get users to connect to both servers after they are fully
separated?

Do I need to install an additonal network card to the workstation? Or is
there another way to do this without having two separate computers on the
same desk.
 
we need more information to help. assuming two servers are in the same
subnet, you should see both. To separate them, you may want to add a router
and modify the routing table.

You have a couple of choices

1) Setup a trust between the two domains
(assuming these are domain servers.)

2) Synchronize the usernames/passwords between the
two servers so that those users will be able to access
resources on both.

The second choice is simpler and doesn't require
much system management co-operation between the
two companies.

In no case would a second network card be helpful; but if
the servers are on separate subnets you may need to assign
two IPs to the one adapter. OTOH two or more computers on
the desktop I always find nice, but not necessary --
you always have the Terminal Services option...
