1) Electric/power failure (which would be relatively easy to identify)
2) Some other malfunction relating to the physical hardware, but it would be on one of the top-level servers that is shared by everything below it.
Even in scenario 2), it should be easy to identify what's causing the issue, as it would likely be the first thing to "trip" while they are testing.
This is what leads me to believe it is a software issue (bad code tripping the servers at some point, etc). This would be significantly more challenging to identify.
All of this comes before even attempting to fix anything. The fact that they have yet to identify the root cause is what's most troubling here.
