There are several ways:

You can share it through a Mac or PC connected through the network. This is 
standard AFP (Mac) or CIFS/SMB (Windows) file sharing.

The Apple Airport Extreme has a USB port into which you can plug a USB hard 
drive which then shows up as a network volume. 

You can buy drives in enclosures with built in network ports. They are usually 
called something like a Net Drive—Lacie makes a lot of them. The ones I've seen 
are usually a drive and a small Linux computer running Samba for CIFS/SMB and 
Netatalk for AFP.
