It's a 'nix server but that's immaterial. Their disk drive failed so it's
not even relevant to what kind of server.

Considering they were co located in a hosting facility one has to wonder why
they didn't have a RAID array with hot swappable drives. Too expensive I
imagine. Still it would have lessened the down time to short if at all.
Given Vince Sabio's anal retentiveness I would have thought there would have
been a hot backup mirrored server ready to take over.
