I think APC makes software that does that, but likely wants to charge for it. One UPS power failure can trigger an event to do multiple things.  

I never got that fancy with my setup and I have (10) APC UPS units over here. If my power it out long enough for them to go out, everything just powers off immediately.  I would try and do a clean shutdown, but even if it goes down hard I have not had issues with my ESXi server/VMs.  Worst case, I could restore things.
