Other players in this space are ansible and saltstack. Each has a
slightly different target and philosophy and they are implemented in
different languages.

Jenkins is good to manage things through
development/testing/packing/release, but you will want it to drop the
packages to deploy in some sort of repository where a more scalable
tool can control the actual deployment to your production systems.
The saltstack project I mentioned above is not very mature yet but is
developing rapidly and appears to be designed to scale extremely well
and has some cross platform support.
