Is it possible to have two computers connected to the same UPS and both power down after the UPS reaches 10% battery?

I occasionally have short power outages here that lasts less than probably a minute. It's happened 4 times this year already. I intend to buy a really large UPS to power possibly three rigs at once. UPS I am looking at is this one CyberPower PR3000LCD Smart App Sinewave UPS 3000VA 2700W SNMP/HTTP Tower, but I want to be able to power down all the rigs before the UPS's batteries go to 0%. While I don't think I'd have a problem with it getting that far I want to make sure that if it does that the computers will shut down gracefully instead of suddenly losing power.

Any ideas?

Well after doing some more research and searching I found units with 1/3 of the rating for 1/4 of the cost. So I am just going to buy separate units for each rig.
 
I've seen units that operate over the network and can tell client systems to shut down via the network and the installed UPS software but I've never really messed with it. I think you going with separate units is probably the easiest, and will be cheaper to maintain in the long run.
