The following items are of interest:
-VMware

Answer 1

localhost?

Answer 2

I can help with xenserver. Only I want to understand what you will test, how and with what.

Answer 3

Without a compelling reason, it is unlikely that someone will provide services to you.
a) Take a 30 day trial of Azure
b) Is one of the companies providing student subscriptions and free services to your university?

Answer 4

Firstly, no one will give such access, because administrator rights may be required to track physical servers and measurements. It's not a virtual machine to take popolzovatsya.
Secondly, it will not provide useful information - in order to evaluate performance, you need to compare on similar hardware configurations. It is very doubtful that someone will keep several different clouds on expensive servers (with the purchase of the necessary licenses), so that someone can test and administer them for free.
So raise your clouds and test.
