What are performance metrics and why are they important?

What are some examples of gaming the performance metrics and benchmarks?

  • Some examples: 1. gaming the PUE metric:      " http://vburke.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/finally-proof-positive-that-pue-is-garbage/" 2. using a larger RAM and show better filesystem performance. 3. reading from inner tracks of the disks and show higher performance.

  • Answer:

    I'd say that the most important metrics are: CPI/CPA New Users Paying Share ARPPU (Average Revenue Per Paying User) If you know all this metrics, you can calculate most of the rest of the metrics. I can also recommend you to measure retention (since it is the main metric for users loyalty) and activation. Watch this webinar, there is a good review of metrics with the benchmarks there.
