You should probably just file a bug. Its certainly plausible it had something to do with data center switch, but it could just as equally be unrelated. It requires someone to investigate what part of the system failed (job queue? Varnish? Swift?) which would then lead to a root cause. Its pretty impossible to say without further investigation, and speculating on list is probably not helpful.
