Hi, I have done this (not Isilon, but another storage system). It can be efficient for small clusters and depending on how you design the network.
What I have also seen is the microservice approach with object stores (e.g. In the cloud s3, on premise swift) which is somehow also similar. If you want additional performance you could fetch the data from the object stores and store it temporarily in a local HDFS. Not sure to what extent this affects regulatory requirements though.
