Hi @chenyuan99, thank you so much for bringing this up! I'm not familiar with Isilon—does it refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_EMC_Isilon? Please correct me if that's wrong.

Well it's possible to implement native isilon support inside opendal, there are two concerns here:

• Will it perform better than Isilon's NAS support? What are the benefits?
• How can we test it against Isilon's service? It's proprietary hardware, correct?
