HP Networking | IT Case Study | Region Zealand | HP Region Zealand health authority optimises its data centre environment with HP Networking “In our data centre environment we were concerned about CO2 emissions and overheating. HP E6600 data centre switches’ reversible back-to-front and front-to-back airflow supports our hot aisle/cold aisle design. All we had to do was just plug them into the new infrastructure. The competitive pricing of the HP Networking equipment we purchased and its lifetime warranty were also important deciding factors for us.” Kenneth Mogensen, leader of infrastructure operations, Region Zealand Objective When three Danish counties were combined into the newly formed Region Zealand administrative authority, one of the main challenges was to create a unified central healthcare service. Reliable, high-performance networking was vital to connect the many hospitals and healthcare facilities to a new regional data centre. Approach To centralise its IT infrastructure, Region Zealand consolidated three existing data centres in the towns of Vestsjællands, Roskilde and Storstrøms HP customer case study: into one new data centre at Ringsted Hospital. Danish health authority Implemented HP Networking ‘open standards’ implements reliable, switches including the HP E6600 data centre high-performance switches into its mixed networking environment. networking from HP into Enhanced mobility services offered to staff its consolidated data by implementing HP Networking wireless centre environment connectivity.

Each of these data centres had their own network, based on different networking vendor The new Ringsted Hospital data centre uses technology and were totally independent.

Integrated features in the Networking switches, such as HP Virus Throttling and industry standard ‘S-flow’ statistical sampling technology, further enhance the security and manageability of Region Zealand’s network. 3 Flexible software licensing and free software updates “HP Networking is easy to use, even by someone will provide scalability as the network grows.

Cornett* and Nils Karl Sørensen** ABSTRACT: The article aims to explain the different patterns of economic deve- lopment in Europe based on an assessment of regional and national performance with regard to innovation, entrepreneurship and difference in the industrial struc- ture. The central hypothesis of the paper is that large intra-regional disparities do not necessarily lead to lower economic growth on the national level than smaller disparities do. On the contrary, the polarization of economic activities can lead to excess growth in some cases, and contribute to a process of convergence between nations. To address the mechanisms behind this process, the long run patterns of convergence and disparities in regional economic performance with regard to GDP and the distri- bution of employment are analyzed on the regional and the national level for selected European countries.

  • Strategic Energy Planning in Denmark at Municipal And
    STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL The Danish government’s long-term vision is that Denmark becomes independent of fossil fuels. Municipalities have the local knowledge that can ensure political anchoring and commitment from citizens and local businesses to the green transition of the energy system and the economy. In their capacity as local planning and land-use authority, as owner of supply and transport companies, and as a major consumer, the municipalities are in a unique position to facilitate change. A program with 3.3 mill. EUR was launched in 2014 to support municipal strategic energy planning, providing a 50% grant for the projects. Strengthening partnerships: Cost-effective transition to green growth: • Vertically – state, region, municipality • Mapping energy efficiency and renewable energy resources • Horizontally – across municipalities • Analysing energy futures and strategic choices • Locally – businesses, supply companies, municipality • Setting targets and action plans • Internally – municipal administrations • Demonstrating green solutions • Democratically – citizens and interest organisations In total, 14 partnership projects for strategic energy planning were initiated with each their unique partnership structure and with each their individual energy perspective. The support program aimed at demonstrating different types of partnerships and tackle different aspects of a cost-effective transition to green growth. The 14 projects include 6 regional projects (in the five Danish regions) and 8 projects involving a smaller number of municipalities.

  • 30102012 OECD Paper
    Fall 08 Danish Growth Houses Report for the OECD Vibeke Vad Baunsgaard Franziska Günzel Helle Neergaard Department of Business Administration Aarhus University Introduction Like so many other European countries, Denmark faces the challenge of reversing the decline in economic growth. Whilst, on the one hand, wages have increased at a higher pace than in similar OECD-countries during the past ten years, on the other, Danish growth in productivity is among the weakest within OECD-countries (Danish Business Authority 2011a: 7). Indeed, a Danish benchmarking report on entrepreneurship and start-ups warns that jobs will be lost unless Danish enterprises increase their level of competitiveness (Danish Business Authority 2011a: 7). Such warnings emphasize that it is necessary to promote growth in start-ups as well as established enterprises as a solution to the pressing challenges. Research shows that where start-ups in general create four new jobs over a three-year period, growth start-ups create 15 new jobs during the same period of time (Danish Business Authority 2011a). It has been documented that although Denmark is among the best performing countries in the world in terms of creating start-ups, Denmark performs less well in terms of high-growth start-ups and can be found in the median range in international comparisons of high-growth start-ups’; reflecting negatively on job and wealth creation (Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority1 2010). Additionally, in the long term few growth enterprises develop to become larger corporations in a Danish context. In comparison with the United States, for instance, where 20% of growth enterprises, with 250-499 employees, are ten years or younger, this is only the case for two percent of enterprises in Denmark.

We tested the hypothesis that genetically determined milk intake is associated with acne in adults using a Mendelian randomization design. LCT-13910 C/T (rs4988235) is associated with lactase persistence (TT/TC) in Northern Europeans. We investigated the association between milk intake, LCT-13910 C/T (rs4988235), and acne in 20,416 adults (age-range: 20–96) from The Danish General Suburban Population Study (GESUS).

    Transnational report on state ofWP play 2.4 in spatial planning for renewable energy inin the the participating regions: regions: Region Zealand EnergyCreating strategy space (English summary) for renewables TygeCristina Kjær, C. Landt Cristinaand Tyge C. Kjær, Landt Roskilde University WP 2.4 Report • page 2 Region Zealand Energy Strategy The purpose in the report is to outline an energy strategy for Region Zealand, based on the targets for the amount of renewable energy, formulated by the Regional Council. The report first starts with the regional objectives and compares them with the national objectives. Region Zealand has a higher goal of share of renewable energy than the national target. The following targets for Region Zealand in short and longer term: • Short term: 40% renewable energy with focus on heat and electricity in year 2020. • Mid-term: 55% renewable energy with focus on all energy areas in year 2030 • Long term: 100% renewable energy in year 2050. The main themes of the strategy are as follows: The region faces a major challenge in relation to the 2030 target (mid-term) where the changes in production and consumption must take place. Large scale investments are needed. There is a need for mobilization of investments and there is a need to create a common implementation effort. The experience clearly shows that the will be very different from municipality to municipality. The strategy and its elements must be adapted to the individual municipality according to their resource potentials, the need for technical change and the financial and decision-making resources that are in place in each municipality.
