[Monitoring]<BR>
We can confirm that email processing and all Mimecast services have been restored for our US-hosted customers. All services should now be functioning normally and processing queues are approaching normal levels as email is retried on the normal SMTP schedules. We continue to monitor and will provide updates here.<BR>

[Identified]<BR>
We can confirm we experienced a major power outage in one of our US data centers that impacted all power supply sources, including the backup generators, which in turn caused a cascading issue and resulted in degraded performance. Midway through our Disaster Recovery Process, the power was restored which complicated our ability to recover. As of now, services are available and we are processing email but customers may still experience delays until the backlog clears. We sincerely apologize for the extended outage and the disruption caused.<BR>

I'm unable to reach the SMTP service on us-smtp-inbound-1.mimecast.com or us-smtp-inbound-2.mimecast.com from multiple markets: Dallas, Denver, Phoenix. I can reach them from Atlanta and Seattle. They are reachable on at least one address in Los Angeles, unreachable on others.<BR>
