Are disk format across AIX and Solaris platforms compatable?

I totally new to UNIX and I have a newbie question.
I have 2 servers, AIX and Solaris and I need to be on just one platform.
both serves have 2 physical drives, with the OS on one and data on the other.

can I take the data drive from the AIX server and mount it on the Solaris server?
or would i need to ftp the files over?
