Can someone enlighten me as to why google doesn't want to make an enterprise play? Many companies tout that they are offering data infrastructures similar to those used at google..why wouldn't google commercialize that technology themselves? It should be pretty obvious as to how that could be of huge financial benefit to the company.

They do. They have a range of commercial, including enterprise, offerings (many of which are based on originally-internal technologies, including their MySQL-based distributed database that preceded F1.)

They probably will, just as they have commercialized their previous internal storage technologies.
