no network outage occurs or server rebooted

That's not what I said. I said a heavy network or other I/O load.
Backups for example are notorious for this and often happen very early in the morning, as this is usually the time the systems are least used, especially if they are used by humans.
if you find the gaps appear at more or less the same time every eg day, then you should find out what else is happening at that time.
However(!), a short gap as you seem to have is nothing to worry about.

BTW, there's not much point in comparing servers as you are; they will not have identical results unless you have a very small & lightly loaded LAN.
