A VPN link is what would be used in order to connect the two networks
together.

I'm looking for a way to essentially have single sign on and shared
filesystems that can be accessed efficiently between two geographically
diverse locations with a low-latency (but also low-bandwidth) connection
between them.

That is to say that there should be a way for both networks to use the
same network filesystem, to agree on the owners and status of file
locking mechanisms, and to be able to transmit changes as soon as they
happen to the other side (or at least notify the other side that changes
occurred).
