JMeter is a good, free option to look into. You can simulate load against any type of service as long as you know how to build the request to them.

Another option is System Test which is through Esri's Professional Services team.

Finally, you can create your own performance test using Python and the threading library. You can set up your functions to make export map requests and then start up multiple threads that run the functions. I wrote something like this a while ago, I think it should still work. The other options above may be better "Enterprise" solutions, though.
