Some facilities (Terremark comes to mind) offer chilled water from the local
power company so you don't need to have your own chillers. What is the fault
tolerance requirement for a power-company chiller plant though?

We use chilled water (4-8 C) with regular tap water as a backup (separate
system). We have a water tower nearby, they say they can give us very high
probability that any one of these two will provide cooling at any given
time. As far as I know none of them have failed during the past two years
of operation.
