## Use Girder Instead of Midas Platform ##

Prefer [Girder](https://github.com/girder/girder), which is a more modern and better supported platform than Midas Platform.  Help is available for Girder, documented in the [Girder GitHub repo README](https://github.com/girder/girder/blob/master/README.rst), and Girder's [Read the Docs](http://girder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) page.

There is [documentation](https://github.com/girder/girder/blob/master/scripts/midas/README.md) for migrating a Midas Server instance to Girder, along with migration scripts.

## Overview ##

Midas Server is an open-source application that enables the rapid creation of
tailored, web-enabled data storage. Designed to meet the needs of advanced
data-centric computing, Midas Server addresses the growing challenge of large
data by providing a flexible, intelligent data storage system. Midas Server
integrates multimedia server technology with other open-source data analysis
and visualization tools to enable data-intensive applications that easily
interface with existing workflows.
