If they're using virtual machines, most likely it would only take out one VM and not the whole system. If the whole system went down, then there's a huge problem.

You are assuming the problem would be software related. What if the machine dies? What if it ends up under DDOS attack that exceeds it's ability to mitigate?

There are other "what if" situations as well.
