September 07, 2011, 5:06 AM — In spite of all the hype over cloud computing, a new survey has revealed that just seven percent of UK IT services or applications on average are in the cloud.

The networking company commissioned independent market technology consultancy Loudhouse to survey 250 IT decision makers in large UK companies across five sectors on their attitudes to cloud computing for the report.
