This sort of mass failure seems to point
towards either design issues (like equipment >selection/configuration vs 
temperature range for the location), systemic maintenance issues, or 
some sort of single failure point that could take all the chillers out, 
none of which I'd be happy to see in a data center.



If these chillers are connected to BACnet or similar network, then I wouldn't rule out the possibility of an attack.
